February 2011
There’s a stillness about the winter garden.
A slower pace.
Quiet.
I love that
I need that
So on a recent sunny January day I spent some time strolling
It’s a hopeful journey.
Daffodils sticking their noses up.
Larkspur running amuck
Greening up everywhere.
My mystery perennial fern bigger and greener
than it ever was last summer.
But the brightest sign of hope…
The first bud on Helleborus
An amazing plant that is always the first to show new life in my garden.
It’s still time for the garden to rest.
For this gardener to rest.
To stroll quietly through the garden
To putter in the garden house
To contemplate the season to come
Time to study OK drool over the catalogs clogging my mailbox
For now…
Quiet time
Hopeful time of things to come.

In My Garden 
Good to see your blog again. I am drooling over catalogs, also. Looking forward to future posts.
Hi Mary,
I’m slowly retuning to the blogosphere. Hope winter has been kind to your garden.
Soon we’ll get to set the catalogs aside and dig in – literally.
