quince

The bees are already buzzing around the quince. It has been warm and sunny but the weatherman says cold is on the way back. We are expecting below freezing night-time temperatures by Thursday.

I’ve also noticed flowers on the phlox and on the rosemary. And, yes, today is my birthday. Thanks Mary Lou for sending well-wishers my way, and a happy birthday to you too.

    Happy birthday, Bill. You share your “special day” with my maternal aunt, so thank you for the reminder to wish her a happy day, too. :-)

    It’s been a while since I’ve looked at any blogs, including my own, but a happy belated birthday to you. Reading previous pages of yours, especially relating to the things that are out of our control (like almost everything).

    I DO hope you find this next year with new joys to celebrate.

    I can always count on Prairie Point to give me a breath of spring which is especially welcome during these wickedly cold weeks we’re enduring.
