Some of the trees are already in bloom. I love walking into their area of influence at night - I don't actually stop and smell the flowers, but I maybe slow down a little bit. I think the fact that January is so warm is fooling the plants. That said, I think I'll go read for awhile.

cds listened to while smelling the flowers: Kecak - the Choral Drama of Singapadu Village, Areski et Brigitte Fontaine "je ne connais pas cet homme", Nightwish "Angels Fall First", Kodo "Kaiki", Keuhkot "Ruskea Aikakirja", and Nurse With Wound "An Awkward Pause"

now: Fern Knight - Mp3 from forthcoming release
