The garden is under snow tonight, and I probably won't be doing much outdoor gardening tomorrow. I've been killing time this evening looking at You Tube videos. Every once and a while something amazing turns up. Here's one on a winter theme, one I want to share with everyone: it's a recording made in 1931 of Vita Sackville-West reading from her poem The Land. The first passage is from "Winter", the second from "Spring". http://www.youtube.com/watch/?v=AjXvkRhoXXs I'm posting this to both Alpine-L and to the PBS list, so some of you might get this twice.
