February 20, 2005. It's been nice weather this weekend. Chilly but sunny - ideal for late-winter cleanup. Lots of plants are already showing their intention to re-emerge, but only one is blooming: our Dale Darley heath, which shows its flowers somewhat demurely throughout winter. Some years, we don't even notice, but on a day like this, it's just what I need to get into the spirit of the new season. |
