I always love this moment in mid-January when it starts to feel like spring. Never mind that we will certainly have five more months of gray, rainy weather; there are hellebores and cyclamen and violets and snowdrops and sweet box and witch hazel and the first shoots of daffodils! Every year I have to go out and photograph every speck of color appearing in the garden and make sure that everyone feels welcome.
