Right, we’re into the New Year now and it’s time to get going. Or stay inside of it’s icy where you are. It’s icy here and after nipping out to feed the birds - that was a chilly experience I can tell you - I’m back inside, leafing through the seed and summer bulb catalogues, writing to you, and making plans.

Spring seems far away but, it’ll be here an instant. I’m going to stick my neck out and predict that January won’t seem nearly as long as it did last year - remember when we got to about the 85th of January in 2024 and it STILL wasn’t over?
