As we’ve had the coldest February for ages, I am relieved to find that some of my plants at least have survived. The snowdrops seem completely unharmed, which is especially grafifying since I only planted them last year, having been given some bulbs from my brother’s garden, so I am sentimentally attached to them.
My husband and I don’t make much of Valentine’s Day, but we do tend to use it as an excuse to go out for a nice meal together. This year this is especially important to me, as we are both in for a very busy workday today due to long scheduled meetings. And it’s snowing,…
So I am feeling rather low today. It’s icy cold outside (9 degrees Fahrenheit at night, which means most of my garden plants will probably die). And I was told today that two people I work with are seriously ill: One may need heart surgery, and the other is in hospital suffering from depression. Now…
