Our winter has been fairly cold, and I would love a warm 65 degree day or two. However, it always worries me when things bloom so early that they will get hit by a late freeze. I hope that doesn't happen to you.HolleyGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14892421871044249940noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7113123529932691813.post-69222509717247624442013-01-17T18:30:42.799-06:002013-01-17T18:30:42.799-06:00Cherry,Your time will come.

I enjoyed the fresh air but with the rains, I was kept inside to do some house cleaning.

I am afraid it lasted too long here and we shall loose somethings. But I leave nature to take care of its own and I dont worry about such things as life is too darn short.
