It is dark and cloudy here in the Carondelet Garden.  We should see some rain showers moving in later this morning becoming a steady light rain this afternoon.  The Doodle Dog and I had a very early walk this morning.

We leave the seed heads on the Allium through winter for the birds and other critters to enjoy and feast upon.  The time is quickly approaching for winter cleanup.  It is quickly approaching!  We placed our seed order yesterday.  Can't wait for fresh veggies from the garden once again.

February is certainly one of those months that divide people.  You either love it or loathe it.  I feel like the garden is starting to come alive again in February even with the unpredictable weather.  The days are still short, but you can feel something happening.

February is that month filled with small but powerful things.  I simply adore the way it opens out and releases the onslaught that is springtime.  I love the ways the days stretch out, reaching upward and limbering up.  Here comes the sun!  

I'm obviously getting excited to start the process of gardening and growing again.  It's still much too early but the plans are being made.  That's all the news from here in the Carondelet Garden.
