I moved it right away and spied a primrose blooming nearby. How exciting!
The March full moon or Crow Moon was brilliant in the spring sky this week. The temperatures have been variable with 60s one day and 30s the next. The wind is gusting; the clouds skud across the sky. The birds have been active, especially bluebirds and finches at the feeder and perched on the deck.
The most amazing garden moment this week has been the herb planter I pulled into the garage after Thanksgiving last year. In December the Gerbera daisy had a bloom (now dried) and in January another (lighter color). They may be more petrified than alive right now, but the leaves of the daisy plants are bright green and renewed. The herbs (rosemary, sage and thyme) are alive with color and scent. The garage is filled with light from two windows and transom windows over the garage doors. I have watered the plants irregularly over the winter. I've kept the garage door open this week in the afternoon when the sun shines directly on the planter. The miracle of Spring--and a mild winter!
