Thank you so much for your kind comment! I love this time of year when each new bud is like a revelation! I have noticed the bees going out on nice days and they are bring back pollen! Yay! We have some hazels that have had their catkins open for some time; some pussy willows down the road are in full bloom (I should get some!); and I just noticed the mahonia and the purple deadnettle is starting to open up. Spring is not far away!

I’m also very passionate about pollinators and am very excited about all of my new plants blooming for the first time this spring. 😀
