Still in Bloom

When I went to the Green today, after Thursday’s unexpected snowfall, I expected everything to be shriveled and dead. But no!

There were persimmons clinging to their tree and the witch hazels had just begun to bloom:

 

We still had asters and black-eyed Susans

 

purple basil glowing in the late sunlight

beautyberries and viburnum berries and porcelain berries

 

And best of all, YOU!
