Stepping forward and back over the equinox.
Full bloom yesterday.
Half way to full.
Bulbs are up & out.
And perennials are being what they are.
The herb sagacious.
While randomly walking by,
our cracked corn tom, proves as camera shy as huge.
Brought inside to save them from the frost.
We had to kill them to save them,
though it did not hurt us more.
This way we may enjoy their last days close up.
Four inches of snow fell here today:
the first two vanished as they landed,
the third sank slowly into the ground,
but the fourth covered everything
as the temperature fell under freezing.
