How I hope I am buried in just such a sepulcher, how I would adore it!

“The growing good of the world is partly dependent on unhistoric acts; and that things are not so ill with you and me as they might have been, is half owing to the number who lived faithfully a hidden life, and rest in unvisited tombs.” – George Eliot

Ah, sigh.

They are, to me, an encouraging sign that winter may be on the wane!

The Cambridge Botanic Garden is my best resource on these chilly days, and it’s so heartening to see the hellebores, snowdrops and even daphnes beginning to flower.
