Guess which season...

This morning, when went to put on my garden clogs in preparation for feeding the birds, the big toe of my right foot hit against something hard; on closer investigation it turned out to be a hibernating snail.
In the first shock of my surprise I threw it out on the grass, but then I thought that was a bit mean, so I rescued it and placed it carefully in a dark place under our outside office. (My mother says I am a softie.)

But not everything in nature is preparing for winter. Our japonica bush is bearing fruits and blossom at the same time. Who says global warming is a myth?
