January 30 - February 4 Afternoons Return


2010-Starting on February 2, the days have reached the ten hour point, growing by two and three minutes a day.  Suddenly it seems the afternoons are back and the pattern of the days needs to be reconfigured to take them into account.  The eagles can be seen around the nest, singly or together, though not looking very busy.  Still it snows, sometimes lightly for days, and everything is white,
The seed catalogs are piled up, the seed and plant lists are made.  Too early to do anything--not true-yesterday I potted up the amaryllis bulbs and the rooting begonia.  I guess I just needed to touch some dirt.

Ice coats every limb.
North wind shakes frozen branches
To make ice music.

2011- no entry
2012- no entry

2013-
Cat tiptoes on snow,
Sparrow passes overhead;
Just their shadows meet.
