Winter

"There's one good thing about snow, it makes your lawn look just as nice as your neighbors"
~ Clyde Moore

Don't you love that quote?

A friend from fb posted it the other day.  It gave me a new outlook on winter.

You see my neighbors have the prettiest WEED FREE yards.  I'm more of the wild type (bet you didn't know that).  I buy what I like, plant in the wrong spots, and weed ~ never!  Well almost never.

Maybe my garden isn't as bad as I thought....at least not in the winter.
Just checking in with you all.  Have a great day!!
Happy hugs ~ Jenn 
p.s. I'm feeling those small inklings of spring fever coming on.  Going excitedly to the grocery store hoping to find a small touch of spring for my windowsill.  The smell of those forced hyacinth bulbs does it to me every year.  Can you feel it too??

    I love the quote, and I just looked outside and my lawn does look just as good, maybe even better, I have all kinds of animal tracks in mine, LOL. Have a great day

    Ooooh, I love the grocery store with it's pretty flower and plant section...(that's as far as I care to go in, actually- LOL. I may just go and get myself something pretty today, too. We are due for yet another 6-12" of snow tomorrow night....yikes!

    BTW...our flower garden "planning" sounds almost identical..., and I love all flowers even if they are not all uniformly planted and weeded(?) Ya supposed to really DO that???? he-he!

    Enjoy your hyacinths..

    Hello Jenn...Wintertime is the ONLY time of the year when our garden is completely absent of weeds!
    Oh my, the lovely perfume of Hyacinths filling every room...heavenly!

    I know what you mean about the lawns Jenn...
    Everyone's equal.
    Beautiful Winterberry bush in the photo.
    I'm getting SO tired of ALL this Snow were having. I feel as if someone's punishing us in New England. Making up for lost time I guess.
    Anyway Sring will be here (In my mind i can Dream can't I?)

    Stay Warm...

    What a fantastic quote! Loved it!

    Unfortunately all the very cold weather we had before Christmas has killed my bay leaf trees and a rosemary bush, am gutted about the bay leaf trees as they were only planted last summer so I am eager for spring to come so as I can get down to the garden centre and replace some of the very poorly looking shrubs and trees.

    Hugs
    Karen

    I love red berries in winter, they are so very pretty! Actually, we've only gotten a couple of inches all winter long. We are really wanting a good snowstorm, then spring can come. =]

    Have a fantastic weekend~

    I just purchased some yellow tulips and daffadils at Krogers yesterday. It's amazing how they cheer me during the gloom of these days! Spring does sound wonderful! hugs~Kathy
