Now that daylight's saving time has begun, spring seems just around the corner. We spent this evening working in the garden, cutting down the remnants of last year's flowers stalks and piling them carefully to one side, so that any small creature (read insect or invertebrate) overwintering in them can escape once the weather warms. The seed heads are bare now, harvested by the goldfinches, cardinals and sparrows that spent the winter with us. A few green leaves are beginning to poke up through the leaf litter, but it all still looks pretty wintery out there. Note to self: be sure to post some transformation photos once the plants are growing again.
