Brrrrr! It's 16 degrees with a zero wind chill! This is all part of the gardening cycle and on these cold days I think of all that potential out there in the ground just waiting for the warmer days. My perennials are tucked under their mulched beds, their little green heads just below the surface. My 600 red tulips are all still alive in the front yard and they too are hiding all that potential.In my early years, I was impatient with winter. I had not yet learned to see the beauty in sleep...the beauty of dried stalks and old flower heads, but I have learned to enjoy this period. However, I still imagine the flowers of spring and summer!
Mr. Frog is looking chilly by the pond this morning. I was thinking of throwing a shawl over his shoulders. Hang in there. Spring is coming soon.
Is that ice? I don't remeber seeing that fountain while I was there. What an interesting and unique idea!
ReplyDeleteHi, Adam. I forgot to turn off the pump when it got cold. This is the result. No damage, thankfully.
ReplyDeleteThis fountain is made from an old plant container that was scratched and not useable.
