February 12, 2025 — We’ve got an inch or two of fresh snow on the ground, on top of the ice from the last storm. Filling feeders is quite treacherous. The birds are frantic to get enough to eat. I made sure to stock up on enough seed to see us through until the weekend, I hope.
Now’s a good time to start planning next year’s garden! That, and bake, or make soup. I made a very retro red velvet cake for Valentine’s Day. Enjoy your indoor activities, take a careful walk or maybe go skiiing!

Adrienne,
I thought I had a good garden book library but your list was excellent! Lots of books I didn’t know about. The movie was so moving. So disturbing what these people are living through. I truly can’t imagine. Thank you so much for your newsletter! I truly enjoyed it.
Thanks Becky! If you have a particular favorite garden book, I’d love to know about it. I enjoy perusing garden books, especially in winter.
