The Tease


Temperatures down to five degrees, more with the wind. Yet there are small buds on trees throughout the yard, and the tangle of last summer's vines wait for a good trim. A fast snow whipped over Cahas Mountain Monday eve. The blanket covered fescue and timothy, and the anxious asparagus. 

This was but a hill, long ago a home for holsteins, but over six years we have planted yoshino cherries, apples, cypress, dogwood pink & white, the honeysuckle and wisteria.  And a south-faced garden with stone down the other side. (Cats roam there in January.)

More zeroes coming this week. The horse has blanket, two stalls and fresh hay.

We all wait as the days widen.
