First snowdrops bloomed today *and* it got up to 61F. Yes, mud season is here!
Now, the digging and dividing of perennials, the general autumn cleanup and the planting of spring bulbs are all an act of faith. One carries on before the altar of delayed gratification, until the ground freezes and you can’t do any more other than refill the bird feeder and gaze through the window, waiting for the snow. . . . Meanwhile, it helps to think of yourself as a pear tree or a tulip. You will blossom spectacularly in the spring, but only after the required period of chilling.

I never thought I’d EVER look forward to mud, but this year may just be the exception. 🙂 Can’t wait to see some of those spring blooms here.
