photos taken January 7th 2023 of snow melting over ground- and tree-evergreens

This week the relatively abundant snow is melting, and depending on which way you look you can glimpse or imagine some pretty greenery underneath (Colorado is fundamentally brown). Some of my hellebore are champions at mimicking evergreens, and I thank them for it.

Looking back 1-2 weeks and 1-2 years reinforces the January theme of snow and/or brown – we’re lucky with a bit more moisture this year.

Looking back 2-4 weeks and 2-4 years gives us a couple more glimpses of green, but also warnings of coldness.

…This week my garden is waiting, and maybe only half-sleeping.
