Re: FLUXLIST: lobelia

Chirot, so lovely as usual. Is spring as tardy there as here? This is the
exhausted time in this region, everything brown, looks like it will never grow
again. This time of year--before anything comes up--people used to starve, all the
animals depleted too, nothing growing yet. But there are the occasional signs: a
crocus or two, a snowdrop. In a couple weeks it'll be unrecognizable.

So I'm trying to get out on the lake more, where the blue doesn't diminish for
cold.

Lucky old Chaucer, to live in England's mild climate, where April really is spring
instead of the last hard tail end of harsh winter.
