| Magnolia 'Toro' |
When we were young we so loved huge sweeps of color and we still do... but we've also changed... matured, grown up as it were. We've come to appreciate the adopted ones in the garden in a different way... the individual blooms, the tiny alpines, the shy bloomers... even our little ones who show their shy personalities for only a day or two out of the entire year are appreciated all the more for their reserved and demure natures. Our 'children' have come to us from all over the world and we in turn have come to love them all... we want to meet their needs and protect them as best we can, for the more diverse our 'family', the happier we are, overflowing with joy and appreciation for the opportunity to have them close at hand.

As I gaze out our windows and anticipate two more large snowfalls in the next few days, I find myself being thankful... could we be in line for a normal winter this year, and more importantly, will we have to worry about drought again? Hopefully not as we have been getting a wonderful amount of moisture for the past several months. With any luck at all, we'll have 6-7 more weeks of winter followed by a spring without major freezes. I will attempt to amuse myself with more photos from our plant family album and hopefully they will bring you a bit of pleasure as well.
Take care, Larry
