WEll, the calendar indicates that Spring has arrived, but the weather remains wintry, and the snow continues gradually and slowly to melt.  Still, my intrepid crocuses are pushing their tender shoots above the soil line.  I have every confidence that they will be in full bloom by Easter.  Here's an early photo, and I'll be back with another when they have blossomed.

I too have come out of hibernation, and there are a few gigs coming up this Spring.  Please check the calendar for details, but look for me at the Brooklyn Coffee Teahouse on April 11th and May 16th, and consider coming to a very special Valentine's in May evening of poetry and music with the Eclectic Quartet at the Alliance Francaise on May 8th.
