Today’s snow was of the large-flaked, fluffy type. Just beautiful. The first such snow we’ve had this year. The way the snow collects on trees and shrubs and what remains of summer plants reminds us of the four-season beauty of the landscape.
FROM THE ARCHIVES: FEBRUARY TO-DOS
We’re going to have temps in the high 50’s, maybe 60’s this weekend! And sunny skies. How I miss Chicago, but the February thaw, which has been for my 13 years in Philly a rite of passage, is one heck of a consolation prize. (Of course, there are so many aspects of Philly living that commend it, not the least it’s brilliant growing opportunities…almost everything thrives here!…and its proud tradition of horticultural excellence.)
