Snow
My entire neighborhood looks like a winter wonderland. It's quite lovely. More snow is forecasted for the coming week. March: in like a lion this year! Hopefull, the "out like a lamb" portion of that saying will hold true this year. I've been wanting to cut some pussywillow and forsythia branches to force blooms indoors, but there is so much snow, I can't get to the plants.

Sunshine
The sun has been brightly shining the last few days here in northern Ohio. Much of the snow is melting and evaporating. I'm starting to hear the spring birds tweeting. I'm sure the sap is flowing in the maple trees and baseball spring training camps are opening. Spring, and back to the garden - not far off!

Snow
It has been snowing here on a regular basis. It is lovely snow; light and fluffy. Quite pretty but I am starting to feel the cold. I need some warm weather so I'm sharing a photo of my potted impatients on my deck from last summer. It warms me a bit and hopefully, will warm you as well. Happy St. Valentine's Day!!!

Cabin Fever
It is around this time of year that some folks start to get what we affectionately call "Cabin Fever". They just want to get out of the house! It has been very cold the last few days. Friday night, we had a howling snow storm - very windy. We are expecting more snow tonight although today and yesterday have been very sunny - cold, but sunny. My backyard is lovely - long shadows over prisitne white snow. The photo is from my garden last year. A bright orange reminder of spring to come. I think it is just about time to cut some pussy willows and forsythia to force indoors. I'll think about doing that when it gets just a tad warmer.
