Just a quick note this month, my friends to say hello and wish you an abundance of blessings on this third day of March.  We have crested Old Man Winter’s snowy hill – hooray!  The red winged blackbirds have returned.  There is no surer harbinger of spring than their trilling song as it rings across the fields!  The dogwood branches are blushing red and soon, soon the pussy willow will put forth its silvery buds.  I am eagerly watching for any sign of green growing things in the field and garden.  I know it is early, but I take heart in knowing that the chives planted in a sheltered spot behind the garage will make their appearance by the end of the month.  So I wait and watch and dream of the warmer days to come…

 “I never had any other desire so strong, and so like to covetousness, as that one which I have had always, that I might be master at last of a small house and large garden, with very moderate conveniences joined to them, and there dedicate the remainder of my life only to the culture of them and the study of nature.”

Abraham Cowley

 Until next month, my friends, may you find joy in each and every day!
