I’m glad that we decided to minimize garden cleanup this year and leave some winter plant structure. While I am eager for spring, this was lovely. This cold is a lot for Toledo, but it pales in comparison to the upstate NY winters I grew up with.
“I wonder if the snow loves the trees and fields, that it kisses them so gently? And then it covers them up snug, you know, with a white quilt; and perhaps it says, ‘go to sleep, darlings, till the summer comes again.” Lewis Carroll
