- Reposted by Hyde 🦋These days have the pinching, dull, bone-cold ache of a gate bolt that won’t go home. A snowdrop chill. But the winter thrushes are making a chattery river high in the bare branches, & their departure won’t be long. I still hate to lose winter, even as I long for spring… #naturewriting

- Reposted by Hyde 🦋Lots of lemons ripening on our lemon tree. Plenty of buds too. The tree spends the warmer months outside, where the flowers get pollinated by insects. It’s in the porch now, for the winter, so I’ll need to pollinate these flowers with a small paintbrush when they open #pollination
