FORGOTTEN ITEMS
While going through my photo files I discovered these two pictures. I originally took them as blog entries, but never followed through.
The photo on the right is of my newly established rose garden put to bed for the winter with their burlap blankets all snuggled about them. Since then, the ground has frozen and they have been covered with snow many times. I can hardly wait till Spring to behold my new, older and (I hope) bigger blossoms.
On the right there are some tiny, fragile "johnny jump-ups". After we had our first big snow, there were a few days of unseemly warm weather and the little devils must have thought it was time to bloom again because they certainly did "jump up". They were somewhat sheltered under the deck steps, but still I am amazed at their endurance and strength.
