(I keep my heating pad plugged in and ready throughout the gardening season.) But I love all the pleasure my garden brings me after I've done the work.

Seeing the bleeding heart in your garden makes me VERY eager for spring. <br /><br />Read in USA Today last week that your January was the warmest ever recorded.

I do love those, and hope mine will make it through this winter, since I just planted them for the first time last summer. I love any buds or blossoms, so yes, if snow wasn't covering things, I would be searching for daffodils and any signs of budding...it will be a welcome sight to see. I love your pond, too. I would have put another one in last summer when we re-did the yard, but we have SO many trees around that I would be constantly cleaning it out and I just didn't want to do that again. But I look forward to yours, and when the flowers are all blooming, it really looks wonderful. Happy Valentine's Day!

I can't wait for my new one to start and it's suppose to bloom all summer. How exciting.<br />It's fun to see your place now, I recognize right where you're taking the picture from and know where everything is.

I came here to check. Maybe it's my computer being weird. <br /><br />I love your garden too! Your daffs look happy and I bet you're being wooed by your Daphne. I'm always amazed at how quickly the clematis take off. Yours looks mighty healthy. <br /><br />I love that spring is coming early and its mild temperatures are coaxing our little treasures back from their winter slumber. If I'm not mistaken last year and the year before were merciless, cold, lingering winters which makes this year extra nice.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
