Happy Ash Wednesday!
I don’t think that’s the phrase that is used. Nonetheless, it is a happy day.
The snowdrops continue. So does winter aconite(?) – short plants with yellow flowers.
At least one daffodil in Carol’s plot (NW corner of garden).
Crocuses galore.
This is a very good time to start raking out the plots–before the leaves and buds of spring bulbs get too tall. I hope to get down there for awhile today.
This is a subtle thing that helped me get through my raking: the winter honeysuckle is blooming. This is the enormous bush in the middle of my plot (center of garden with birdbath). The fragrance is heavenly and, if you get a moment, go stick your nose into it and inhale. I guarantee this will banish any depression or winter blues.
