Here are some blooming flowers, weeds, and trees on this 64° day.

It’s tempting to get out there and ravage (“clean up”) the landscape, as Americans are brainwashed to do by the hort industry, i.e. make it “neighbor-friendly”.  It’s harder to use restraint and keep on allowing all the little beneficial creatures and plants to survive under winter’s cover and protection until they’re ready to emerge.  But be patient I must, as it will go a long way toward restoring the natural balance.  Which is what we’re all about, here at L42’s Almanac.
