…I am enjoying the fragrant sarcococca blossoming all over town, and I saw early-spring flowers starting to shoot up their first green leaves, so there!

This winter has been a long and hard one. If you’re having a hard time right now, don’t underestimate the power of darkness and bad weather. We’ve already gained more than an hour of daylight since winter solstice, but it’s still getting dark fairly early, and it’s not going to get a lot warmer before the end of February. If you’re feeling the winter blues, run outside on sunny days like today, warm up with a good cup of hot tea, and give yourself permission to react to the season. It’s natural to feel down as we wait for spring.

And don’t miss the sarcococca!
