January 2013 and for the first time in my lifetime, daffodils, daphnes, lenten roses, camellias, mahonia are blooming and my holly tree is laden with berries waiting for the cedar wax wings in my backyard sanctuary. Bees are gathering pollen from my camellias and the birds are trying to nest… goodness and it will be going to the 30s this week. Visit my back yard on pinterest my backyard board for all the photos http://pinterest.com/hollybetha/ Enjoy!
