perfect timing---after a warmer than average first half of november, we have dropped to -12 to -16 daytimes, at least 15 cm of snow over the last two days and still coming down for a couple more (nothing like the heavy wet dumps down east, but we have a large area to clear by shovel....);
i was out earlier sawing firewood in the bush (i still try every time i am out there to love that i am in the forest, even if i'd rather not have to be carrying a chainsaw -usually cutting standing dead trees-and dragging logs out) and doing some other chores, and thought to myself that this would be a perfect day for some online botanising..
now to hope these pics (and julias, from bhutan, don't send me running back to check out those czech seedlists!)
