Well, it's been a while since my last post. For those of you who've been wondering, I'm ok, just busy. I'm still in grad school and also got a part-time job this spring. The spring semester just finished, though, so I have a bit of free time at last. Woo-hoo!
As I've mentioned in past entries, this winter was significantly milder than usual. But still, come January and February I was aching for bright flowers. Brookside Gardens to the rescue! The Winter Garden at Brookside Gardens is an outdoor bed that holds lots of super-early blooming flowers. This year apparently things bloomed a couple weeks earlier than usual, but I wasn't complaining!

| Hellebore (January 14) |

| Witch Hazel (February 10) |

| Pussywillow!! (February 10) |

| Winter Aconite (February 10) |
Admittedly, few of these early bloomers are native to our area, but sometimes any flower will do!
