February 2022

Today, warm breezes and overcast skies greet me this morning with a whisper of the coming spring. But when I had sat down to write the newsletter in earnest, snow was softly swirling out the widow, it didn’t come too much, but it felt like winter out there, overcast, decidedly cold, with a strong westerly wind. The end of February can be like that, snow one day, followed by handful of days that feel as if spring was just around the corner, then of course, back to crusty snow underfoot in the garden.

February 2021

The beginning of February brings us a bit closer to spring, winter has by no means left us yet, there are still many days, months even, to keep a fire blazing in the hearth and to bundle up as we move about the garden. But February always feels to me that we are over the hump of winter, and even if it goes on for quite a bit, there is a steady hope that spring is just around the corner.
