New England Winter

Deep in February snow, the landscape is about shifting light, deciduous tree structure, shapes, bird song and possibility. Here in Harvard pruning has begun but most gardening remains imaginative. And what a pleasure it is sitting by a cozy wood stove, wandering the vibrant pages of an inspiring book, looking forward to spring.
