The Poor Tree is Confused

The winter has been rather mild this year. So mild that the plant life and trees are not sure what they should be doing. As we were heading out this afternoon to get a few errands done, something stood out against the gray and cloudy sky, amid the twigs and sparseness of the season. In the neighborhood are several attractive gardens that are planted in front of each row house. Each garden has a unique design and distinctive flair that represents the taste of each home owner.  But this one takes the cake, and the gardener really didn't have much to do with it. It's about 7 degrees in Milwaukee this week, which is one of the main reasons we decided to move. I don't recall ever seeing what looks like spring in winter there, and became even more anxious for winter to end.
A very unusual sight

Hope it returns in "Spring"
