Under the Winter Cloak



Notice the recent winter snows that drape graciously on our garden’s trees. Remember the tidbit of information in this week’s brain teaser. It is best when heavy winter snows accumulate on a tree’s branches, that you leave it be. Let nature take its course. Be patient and enjoy the beauty of the snow. The inspirational thought for the day is by Antoine de Saint-ExupĂ©ry, The Wisdom of the Sands, translated from French by Stuart Gilbert. “The tree is more than first a seed, then a stem, then a living trunk, and then dead timber. The tree is a slow, enduring force straining to win the sky.”

About Me

My Photo
My gardening influence starts with my Italian grandmother and mother. Their passion for gardening and fresh food has led me to my love for the earth. My Dad taught me my appreciation for nature and my border collies keep me grounded, staying in contact with it daily, whether I want to or not. My husband, Greg's passion for agriculture, horticulture, naturalistic landscape designs and travel have kept us busy in our time together. It's hard to work with and live with your husband but we manage to do it and still find laughter. I think it is because we love food, gardening and nature.
