And now back to our regularly scheduled winter...

I'd suspected the green and pink and mild January was too good to be true.

Oh no! Those poor flowers were a little premature.

You make it all look good. Lovely photographs.

Hello, Arwen. I happy to report the snow is gone and the courtyard plants survived.
We're back to rain but as long as the temperature stays above 0 degrees Celsius I won't complain.

Thank you, Denise. I'm willing to tolerate a little bit of snow for a short time as long as it doesn't hurt the plants. In fact, a gentle dusting really does reveal the "bones" of the garden, which can be quite lovely.
