a warmer week ahead

Grape hyacinth in the snow, when it got down to 12 degrees I thought I had lost them but they are back standing up and looking fine now. We have 2 weeks of warmer weather and no freezes, however, this is Colorado, we usually don't plant anything tender out until after May 10th!

Hoar Frost

Hoar Frost is one of those things that happen on cold days. It's beautiful and sparkles in the sunlight.

The snow is falling today, but it wasn't sticking to the streets much. This plant picture was taken earlier in the fall in the mountains. Before the sun hits the leaves there are beautiful ice patterns along the edges. On a recent trip we came over Raton Pass into a bank of fog, as it was lifting we were presented with a gorgeous view of frost covered trees.
