i could feel the difference this week - even this morning with a slight frost on the roof, the day turned out to be warm and nurturing i didn't know why. now i do <s>. the grass is growing, a few crocuses are blooming (the yellow ones) and my roses are sprouting leaves. i'll have to prune them back very soon now. won't be thinking about planting for a while though. i spent a couple hours the day before yesterday out front, raking up those stubborn leaves that refused to fall in autumn and those that blew in from god knows where. at first i stood there, rake in hand, thinking that there is so much to do - where to start, but once i did it was fine. i wasn't intimidated any longer. it happens to me every spring. we deserve this renewal methinks. perhaps even more than usual. oh, btw, someone stole our picket gate from our picket fence last saturday night - just tore it right off its hinges. it looks so strange and feels so open and exposed without it. i guess they needed a gate more than we do. happy planting farmer fudd. -rose
