Potpourri

“Anyone who thinks gardening begins in the spring and ends in the fall is missing the best part of the whole year; for gardening begins in January with a dream.”
                                                                                        — Josephine Nuese
Winter strips the broad-leafed trees to their essentials. Now they stand in bare bones, all of them except the pines and spruces and hemlocks, and you can see what stands behind their graceful summer shapes.
​~Hal Borland, "Silhouettes and Fingerprints," 
A Countryman's Woods, 1983
​From Puzzle Master Will  Shortz
