It's the first week of February and it was 75 degrees today. This does not bode well for summer. I love (really, really love) spring in South Carolina, and today feels like March or April weather. In fact, our azalea bush has several flowers starting to show pink. I should set up a hammock in the yard and read in the shade.
We joined the hiking club for a 2.5 hour walk at Donnelly Wildlife Management Area. Because of the mild winter, the ticks and mosquitoes were out in force. I think I managed to avoid all the ticks and (knock on wood) chiggers. The hike was mostly through pine and oak forests, with parts through or adjacent to the marsh. We saw a white pelican, cormorants, ibis, and alligators. This place wasn't as beautiful as Botany Bay, but it was a nice change of pace for a walk. And we met some interesting people too.
