Low tonight=15F? !! Probably should pile leaves on those foxgloves greening up, if the wind ever dies down.

What differentiates a bulb from a perennial plant is that the nourishment for the flower is stored within the bulb itself.…There is something miraculous about the way that a little grenade of dried up tissue can explode into a complete flower.

I was disappointed — er — relieved. It was 25 when I got up Monday. Not nearly so bad as I was expecting.

Happy Birthday, Kathy! I remember celebrating it last year with lots of our mutual blogging friends. Hope it’s been great.

Thank you, all, for the birthday greetings!
My wireless max-min thermometer says it got down to 16F just before dawn this morning. Plants seem to have suffered more from chicken scratching than the cold. Nothing was really that far along, though the heucheras that came emerged from snowmelt unscathed are looking a bit more tattered lately. They’re predicting lows in the upper 20s tonight.

Ouch ~ that is cold. I hope it didn’t reach -17F last night.

Happy Birthday to you! I hope you are celebrating with a delicious cake.
