Franky is a silly dog! But definitely having fun.<BR/><BR/>As for the vine in winter, there are a few I can think of. One of my favorites is Sweet Autumn Clematis.

Christmas day friends brought us groceries and decongestent meds! <BR/>I was out in the yard today because of the wind. The dogs and I were digging holes and picking up tree branches. We were having a good time until the rain hit. 13 pounder, Franky, jumped into a mud puddle. He knows how to have fun. :Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678661200869193407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-54433967989485883682008-01-08T17:19:00.000-06:002008-01-08T17:19:00.000-06:00Very good suggestions for winter interest.

My computer is acting up so all is not fine with me-probably should go garden and get some endorphins flowing. Most always works to get me happy but now the rain has finally arrived. Maybe tomorrow.tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17415302577518111227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-42649097600160688582008-01-08T12:32:00.000-06:002008-01-08T12:32:00.000-06:00Compliments to my Teacher! :) Ah, so many plants s...Compliments to my Teacher! :) <BR/>Ah, so many plants so little yard for all that I want to try.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16678661200869193407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-2213876004088594112008-01-08T12:11:00.000-06:002008-01-08T12:11:00.000-06:00That's a good list!

For small shrubs I like the Bird's Nest Spruce and my favorite is the Red Twig Dogwood. When it has lost its leaves the bright red bark shines out! Don't forget about Dwarf English laurels, they have very nice evergreen foliage. Another tree is the hemlock. It has very interesting featheryDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00524456191483377274noreply@blogger.com
