At this dark time of year, cannot help but look forward to the
gradual increase in daylight, which will stimulate
plant growth and lead to Spring.
Winter has a stark beauty, but I prefer the new life aurora of
Spring, which is preceded by a slow tease of longer days.
At least, to date this winter has not been as cold as last year.
I can only speculate as to the impact this will have on pests that
will over winter, just hope the creatures that feed on them
have also had a good winter.
