Just visualizing reclining here............looking at my flowers, hearing the birds, feeling the refreshing breeze and the warm sunshine. It is coming I know. But for now—beautiful snowflakes falling gently on the frozen ground as it waits impatiently for the arrival of a new season.

I am what you call a perennial gardener who waits until early spring to clean off the growth from the year before. I think there is a beauty in the gray, brown and white "leftovers" from all the color plus the birds can enjoy all the seeds.

A cold day in February....-15

This is the beauty and then there is the reality.....actually the reality is the first picture.
