January Thaw
I've been absent from my blog for a while. Sorry loyal readers. Busy with holiday events! Garden Maven Colleen and her husband, Eric visited over the Christmas holiday so we spent some fun time together along with Colleen's brother, Brion (my son the attorney!). For a while, we were under snow. Beautiful, fluffy style snow. The type of snow that makes you fall in love with the stuff. Right now, we are in the midst of a January thaw. The January thaw is an annual event, although this year's thaw is odd in that it has been long and warm. Today, the forecast is for 50 degrees. Odd for January in northern Ohio. No snow (or freezing temps.) until next week. That means we've been in the thaw for close to 3 weeks - also odd. The photo is of a forsythia bush in my backyard that actually belongs to Garden Maven Colleen. Not sure how she's going to take it anywhere - maybe some cuttings will do. It's a lovely thing - bright yellow in the spring, green in the summer and pretty foliage in the fall as the photo shows. Forsythia are great for forcing blooms indoors. Perhaps I'll go cut some today and start that process. This is the time to snuggle up with your seed catalogs and start dreaming and planning your garden for 2010!
