Under the weather and in the weather...

Here I am, back from the edge of the Earth!

I haven't been traveling, but I have been suffering from a bad cold and bronchitis for over a week now. This has kept me away from doing anything except the most basic maintenance on the blog or the web site. I am getting some drugs today, so hopefully things will be on the up-swing in a few days.

Between this cold and the regular rains about every 2 days or so, I haven't been doing anything gardening-related except looking at it out my office window. While there is something to be said for that, there are a few tasks that need to be addressed during the next break in the rain.

As a bit of a peace-offering, I give you this quick smapshop of the paperwhites that are currently blooming in the back bed, just off the patio. These always give a welcome relief to the winter garden, where most everything else is resting for the Spring.
