Farewell to Raven

[Catherine]

I did a little work in the garden today and it is pretty bleak looking. It needs so clean up, a good rain and some sunshine. Then overnight things will start growing.

The shrubs and trees looked okay, but it is too soon to tell about the wildflowers. Nothing is showing yet, but it is still only mid March.

I want to get over to the shelter garden soon and give it a bit of a clean up. They get more sun so it could be a bit ahead of my own garden.

I wore shoes and a light coat today. This time last year it was still very cold and snowy.
