February Greetings

"All Nature seems at work,

Slugs leave their lair.

The bees are stirring-

Birds are on the wing,

And Winter slumbering

In the open air

Wears on his face

A dream of Spring."

--S. T. Coleridge

***********************************

Happy February my friends.

I can't believe that we already a few days into this month.

Where did January go?

In this part of the country,

February usually marks the beginning of the end of winter,

and I must confess that though our winter was relatively mild,

I am looking forward to spending time outdoors

and working in the garden soon.

The beautiful image above is once again taken from:

Nature Notes of an Edwardian Lady,

the compilation of works painted by Edith Holden,

which she entitled "Nature Notes 1905",

and which I previously wrote about here.

I hope that your February has gotten off to a wonderful start!
