We are having an unusually warm February this year. It may all go to shnow at any time but for now it is enjoyable. As long as that forecast for sunshine does not turn into fog tomorrow it ought to bring out more forsythia blossoms for the gold crowned sparrows to eat. I saw daffs in bloom on the morning dog walk today. Haven't seen any skunk cabbages yet but have smelled them. My potted wasabi is now beginning to bloom. We may have milder winters but I notice from watching Durgan's garden journal that when your eastern weather warms up everything grows quickly and catches up, then surpasses things here. We just don't get the big heat and have cooler nights in summer. Edited by Dana, Feb 14 2015, 10:42 AM.

It was sent by friends who are visiting the UK and were taken to see the garden last weekend. Obviously you don't paste a photo this way. Just imagine it \f0\fs34 \cf0 \expnd0\expndtw0\kerning0 \outl0\strokewidth0 \strokec2 \ } |

I have been reading a book with that title (Snowdrops). Turns out it refers to the bodies of those who perished in the Russian winter that turn up after the snow melts in the spring! :cold: |
