the return of winter

Filed under: outside in the garden — 3/29/2003

It looks great outside today as long as you are inside looking out through the windows. The sky is a clear blue and the sun is shining bright. But step outside and there is a brisk wind and a temperature in the 50’s that sends me right back inside.

The white wisteria is sending its perfume all over the back yard. We have a rose blooming and buds about to open on several others. The tradescantia are starting to open and so are the iris and various salvias. The cedar elms in front are fully leafed out in bright green although the pecans in back are still bare-limbed. I wish I could post photos here of some of the blooms.

There is a slight chance of a freeze tonight but we are hoping it doesn’t hurt anything. I worked on taxes all morning; then tried to get out a little to brighten my mood in the afternoon without much success.
