I made it! I made it through what I reckon as Wintertime and am so thrilled that Spring is here again!
I am pondering perhaps a small row of planters, or even just flowers where the little fence in the yard used to be. Or maybe I can get someone to come over and help me re-scape the bit right in front of my windows, which was done to be a sort of low maintenance “Northwest garden” style, but now is just a couple of ferns, a big log and some weeds. The Oregon Grape gave up the ghost last summer, though the landlady says it was on it’s way out well before I moved in, and there’s a ton of leaves there what probably could’ve been raked better in the Autumn.
But oh. The Light! It returns! And I made it through another winter YES!!!
Gawd. I am thinking of coming up there to slap you.
The worse of the snow is yet to come where I live.
Okay, so it’s lighter.
But more snow.
No gardening for months.
