The plants that froze over the winter are starting to get their first leaves now. I have three plants in my garden that were covered during the cold months that are about 18 inches tall. They have lots of leaves, but now flowers yet. I have one in my green house with flowers. The general fauna in the area is greener than usual. We had two weeks of rain in February, which is not normal for the region. I would estimate that is the region of the Sierra Gorda around Jalpan that they have signigicant amounts of milkweek coming up now. The climate there is warmer and moister than Tequisquiapan.

I haven't seen any monarchs yet, but there is a lot of butterfly activity already. There are various swallowtails all over the place. I have seen a few orange butterflies, but haven;t been close enough to be able to identify them.

Our current temperatures are 3 to 7 degrees C in the morning. In the afternoons the temperatures are ranging from 28 to 32 degrees C.
