January
There’s 18″ on the ground, and even three days after the storm snow is still sticking to the trees.
The rhododendrons are bowed over with snow.
Tracks (squirrel?) leading toward the bird feeder (behind me as I took the pic). Also, you can maybe see the snapped branch on the lilac in the background.
Here’s a closeup of the suet cakes I made before Christmas. They’re mainly made of peanut butter, cornmeal, and lard, with pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries mixed in.
The promise of bloom to come: buds on the forsythia.
Moving inside for something green: my bay tree is doing well in the unheated, south-facing entryway.
The rosemary’s also looking healthy in the same location.
Think green thoughts…
…and plan for Spring.
