Baby It's Cold Outside......

Spring has sprung in Charleston! Last week it was 34 degrees, the fireplace burned each evening, I brought all my orchids indoors, this week it's 70 degrees. See what I found at my front step, while taking a stroll around my garden.......a Hyacinth....blooming on January 5th. Is it spring in Charleston???? To whom a hyacinth is dearer Than I shall ever be dear. On nights when the field-mice Are abroad, he cannot sleep He hears their narrow teeth At the bulbs of his hyacinths. But the gnawing at my heart . . He does not hear.
