so loud and clear that the gardener seems to be only one of his instruments,

not the composer.”

  18. Supposed to be a very springlike day in greater Denver today (60s), but we’ve been getting warnings for two days about the next snowstorm coming in tomorrow. Weather this time of year is always a battle, but Spring wins eventually. The rule of thumb has always been “Don’t do any planting until after Mother’s Day.” I’ll be opening the windows when I finish here.
