Bob is so right, it is never winter until spring. This week in a panic to get out the frost covers and try and save all the blooms on the wisteria, azalea buds, and all the other things emerging, but it was a hard freeze not a frost. I think everything made it, only time will tell. This tree!! Timber is as excited as I am with my seed orders arriving, the special ones from Floret just arrived!! The lizards have emerged from the dog blankets and are now hanging out in the sun with Geisha. Last fall I bought muscari instead of daffodils. I love the ice blue almost white, and really loved the pink I placed at the farmhouse only to be eaten by who knows what :( The spring Easter mantle is decorated using the floral paintings from my bedroom for a big change in the living room. The willows in town are so pretty when they just begin to sprout their leaves. I hope one day there is an estate sale at what I call "the pagoda house". I love this place and am dying to see the inside. Thousands, could be millions of baby rose of sharons are in my farmhouse garden. I can't just throw away any plant, so I am doing bundles and selling them in the marketplace. I will be looking for plant swaps this spring to make sure all get a good home. Maybe the raccoons ate my pink muscari? My view has never gotten old.
Grain elevators are just about extinct and mostly in the midwest, but I drove around a bit after going to my favorite junk store, and there it was! I have always loved these, and there's one still left in NC! What an awesome building! And then to find the Dairy Goat Association! My day was complete!
