Our mail strike recently ended so those sexy bulb and seed catalogs are showing up--finally!
The cold months are great for planning--and bickering--over next spring/summer here and at the family ruin. Game-changer there is the steady advance of shade thrown by huge trees. My much-missed MIL's original plan of 50yrs ago gave way to totally different lowlight shrubs and new sunnier beds with perennials, bulbs and old roses. Still pretty after all these years.

Oh, yeah, I was born a Yooper

You're a Yooper?! I didn't know that.

No wonder Texas heat doesn't bother you...

Yum 4 varietys here, the birds are getting there fair share too.

It’s snowing here again. I’m daydreaming of gardens and butterflies. In an act of weather avoidance, I’m planning out my early spring garden chores. I have 2 shrubs that need to be moved/removed, roses need an aggressive pruning as does one of the cherry blossom trees, climbing rose needs a trellis added to the brick front around my front windows, turning an old bakers rack into a trellis for some clematis vines and need to finally finish painting the second rain barrel. That should cover March - April.

Went to the store yesterday to get some pet safe ice melt and instead came home with 3 new plants. Scored a beautiful string of pearls and a variegated string of hearts and this big jade plant! I’ve been waiting for warmer weather to order the two “string of” plants online as they’re never in local stores, so this was a total score!
