Backyard and Beyond

Starting out from Brooklyn, an amateur naturalist explores our world.

As John Burroughs said, “The place to observe nature is where you are.”

Xmas Blooms

“Sleigh bells in the snow”? So 20th century.“Jack Frost nipping at your nose”? “People dressed like Eskimos”? Not even the Inuit are dressed like Eskimos any more.

    Merry Christmas! No sleigh bells here, but snow and more coming. AND we got home from Christmas eve service last night, no water pressure. Sigh. Life in the country is still a challenge, climate change or not.

    I love cyclamen. The supermarkets used to sell nice small plants (for a windowsill) from Canada, but I don’t see them so much any more.

      Merry Christmas! Hope you get your water back!

      It’s also the birthday of Isaac Newton.
