Happy New Year to any Buds that may be out there....although I fear I may be talking to myself, again...
I hope 2004 brings all of you gentle weather, bountiful harvests, flourishing flowers, and shady bowers in which to rest and dream.
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December
A magical thing
And sweet to remember.
'We are nearer to Spring
Than we were in September,'
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
- Oliver Herford, I Heard a Bird Sing
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light;
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
- Alfred Lord Tennyson, Ring Out, Wild Bells
The gardening season officially begins on January 1st
and ends on December 31.
