Today was cold and overcast, with mist on the mountains in the morning so we could hear the freight trains pulling the grade on Afton as if they were very close, but couldn't see them.  Despite the cold damp and grayness (high of 35 degrees), our estimable gardener, Patsy, and her assistant, Heather, were here in the morning to complete the pruning of the hedge along the upper end of Cottage Lane.  Sherry was here as well, and Chuck stopped by in the afternoon.

We are all tired of the cold and drizzle and mud, and wishing that spring were a little closer!
