RE: Harbinger

The camellias are blooming and the azaleas are starting but that's about it.
It's bloody cold here. I'm so sick of this winter. I don't ever remember one
lasting this long. We started getting freezes here in late October and it
hasn't stopped. ARGH! I think I might have a touch of cold weather
depression. All I want to do is sleep and I have no interest in anything.
Books can't even hold my attention which is very odd. I'm hoping warmer
weather will cure whatever it is that is ailing me.

Speaking of loquats, I definitely have some fruit coming on my new 
little tree, and they are getting bigger.  Still keeping my fingers 
crossed!!
