In the
depths of winter, that time of the year I call the quiet season, many of us are
hunkered down and looking forward to spring—not that many weeks away. At my cabin the snow piles grow taller, and a
few deer and rabbit tracks break the expanse of snow that blankets all of
Roshara. Most of my farm is resting, its
trees and grasses, its animals and wildflowers are asleep and waiting for
spring.
For
those who want a taste of spring, and chance to calm the effects of cabin
fever, here is an answer. GARDEN EXPO
sponsored by Wisconsin Public TV. Go to
