Groundhog says 6 more weeks...

Oh well, we haven't had that much winter yet here this season. I won't mind if we skip the whole ice storm thing this year, but I could do with a good snow. Just for fun. When I don't have to be somewhere. Too particular? A girl can dream.


Speaking of dreaming, this is what the back yard looks like in the bleak midwinter--I still say it is more bleak when there is no snow!--but I have my seed/plant catalogues--and a new vat of deer scram--at the ready.


Oh, and just to prove that I have not killed the rosemary this year, here she is. This in itself is a minor miracle for me. And, I am watching this paperwhite bulb sprout. One leftover, so I set it in some rocks :)
