Full Moon
From frost to fifteen degrees, what is happening to our seasonal and weather patterns?
Earthenware planters lie fractured after last weeks freezing temperatures. Geraniums droop, beaten by the sharp snap, their stems having expanded to breaking point. It will be an interesting few days as America's blizzard ventures out over the Atlantic. Fearless of the imminent threat, an army of snowdrops is exploding into formation on the bee bank. Tight aqua clumps, punctuated with brilliant white buds forming an angelic aura hovering just above the tobacco clay.
Just half an hour out in the fresh air wandering along the soggy paths is a healing tonic for the soul, my idea of Paradise.
