Corn Field in the Prospect Hill Conservation Land, first week in December 2007

I raise my pelvis to God

so that it may know the truth of how

flowers smash through the long winter.

(Anne Sexton (1928-1974), U.S. poet. “The Fierceness of Female.”)

Over and over, year after year, the flowers need to smash through. This spring it might be a little more difficult. We have had and are still having an old-fashioned New England winter. It snowed last night on March 28th, a week into spring, and then turned to rain. I went out to take photos to record the event before the precipitation stopped. But now low and behold, it’s snowing again, coming down pretty good.

Of course before we had spring and winter snow we had fall snow in early December. Anyone thinking of moving south?
