Winter

Yes, another wintry event in progress.

It's freezing this morning on the porch.

Frozen but can't kill mums or pansies. They'll perk up on a warm day.

Her second favorite spot at this time of year. We didn't have a live tree this year so there was no water for her to drink. Didn't seem to bother her. She still chewed on the tree and played with ornaments and candy canes. Still gave her a piece of live fresh pine to smell, play with and chase around the house.

The gardener didn't prepare this summer when seed starting supplies were still in Home Depot and Walmart. I only have a few discs so I'll have to use bagged seed starting mix. I love the mix I use but wanted to use some discs. But I"m not going through the snow out of the city to the nursery just for discs. I'd be in the store and green house buying things I don't need.

You joining me for tea and seed starting? I'll be back later after I work on my on line course. Have to get it done. Then maybe I'll sow some seeds and sit on the 20 degree porch in a coat and hat, and plant bulbs. This is what happens with lack of planning. I still have a lot of bulbs to plant and there's still time. See you later. The snow has stopped and the sun is breaking through the clouds.
