I even went for a winter walk, which isn't my usual practice. I hate being cold, even though I do think the snow can be very pretty. This time I was inspired to go see the winter beauty at my favorite park, Chestnut Ridge.
It's at this point that I usually begin to anticipate spring so strongly that I buy more kitchen flowers. Daffodils are abundant at stores this time of year, so I buy plenty. And tiny little pots of roses are fun to see on the windowsill.
But the weather quickly turned from these wintery views, and spring began to creep in. The first clue is always when the sedum Angelina starts to show it's bold colors. This is the main reason that I grow it, to offset the bland colors of winter. Soon, I spotted bulb foliage peeking through its colors.
Here it is the end of February, and my patience with a harsh winter has been rewarded with an early spring. I'm not foolish enough to think it will last, but I'm loving it while it lasts. Already I have hellebores, crocus, and iris. Soon there will be daffodils, hyacinths, muscari, squill, and tulips. I can hardly wait.
