It's just that it drags on for so long. Thanks for your kind words, Rose. I'm ready for spring, but otherwise things are going well. Of course, I don't want to rush it because that's what happened last year and then we had the horrible drought. I hope that doesn't happen this summer!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-6236213566156261212013-02-16T20:37:46.222-06:002013-02-16T20:37:46.222-06:00Tee hee.

Upper 30s and humid sometimes feels colder than 20s and dry, so I'm OK with what we have--just tired of it and ready to skip ahead to the 50s, 60s, and 70s. Lots of my plants are budding under the snow, too--it's a nice warm blanket.Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-49210399415220804262013-02-16T20:35:40.179-06:002013-02-16T20:35:40.179-06:00Thanks, Michelle.

We had predictions for possible snow flurries today. It's not happening. The sun is finally shining, though the temperature is very cold (Cold for us! To you upper 30s probably would be balmy!) I am now content to enjoy virtual snow, since we have so many things budding out that would get frosted.debsgardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15656883577922890561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-48728757702727915952013-02-15T10:29:07.701-06:002013-02-15T10:29:07.701-06:00A lovely dedication to the silent beauty of winter...A lovely dedication to the silent beauty of winter, Beth.

I wouldn't trade Midwestern springs, summers, and falls. It's just the winters that are so, so difficult. Actually the miracle of plants going dormant and suddenly coming back to life in springtime is one of the most wonderful aspects of living here. I can't believe they make it through our winters!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-24661060686182078832013-02-14T21:23:32.660-06:002013-02-14T21:23:32.660-06:00I must admit--crabbing about winter is how I usual...I must admit--crabbing about winter is how I usually cope with it.

It's amazing what the light does to their translucent petals. In some light they look indigo-colored. But with the oblique afternoon light, they appear to be purple. And the stamens and stigmas seem to glow like fire. They are usually my first flowers to bloom, although I hope to have more Snowdrops this year!Beth at PlantPostingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10473637655960119672noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3905148744278712684.post-43963063610410407382013-02-14T21:09:08.278-06:002013-02-14T21:09:08.278-06:00Thanks, Holley.

Sometimes, i am thinking what is better for the vegetation, the tropics or the temperate. Both have pros and cons, and they delineated which vegetation goes to where! But still there are the questions in my mine. I thought it is better for gardeners, so there is automatic change in vegetation, no need to cut alive plants to change them. Then i think again, if I were there, maybe i will not garden anymore as i pity the plants dying again when snow comes.
