some of you may remember the orange tree leaves i posted a couple weeks ag0–the curled up dried ones from the tree that didn’t get watered while we were in france.  well, i pruned the tree back to a stump.  a single stalk.  i expected to have to throw it away in spring.  well, to my pleasant surprise it is not only budding but thriving.  here is some of the new growth. i love the rumpled texture of these newly unfurled leaves.

i thought you all might need a break from snow covered branches and twigs.  february has to be the trickiest month for finding inspiration in minnesota.
