How Does Your Garden Grow?

It's been awhile since I've taken pictures of the garden. Welcome to February

A nice picture of Papa Cardinal as he checks out the honeysuckle vine. 

The Frost Guard (a Christmas gift from Himself to both of us) goes on the windshield in anticipation of another snow,sleet, frozen rain, rain storm. The Little Princess doesn't have to scrape ice or frost off the windshield anymore.

Friends from Europe posting pictures of snowdrops and daffodils in bloom have me jealous. The only things blooming in the garden are the ton of gravel tossed onto the lawn from the snowblower and shoveling.

The mailbox kept blowing down in the wind or by the slipstream of trucks as they whoosh by. I got tired of picking up the mailbox several times a day so took it down and put it in the garage. I notified the post office, I'd be picking up the mail from now until sometime in Spring when we decide how to replace the mailbox.

The February garden flags blows in the wind.

Heavy winds and rain have brought down lots of branches

The ground is so wet it can't support the shepherd's hooks.  Two of my garden kite still remain. The rest have gone with the wind.

Temperatures have been fluctuating. A few days above normal. A few days at norm. A bit of ice in a puddle as a cold front moves in.

A milky sky as clouds move in with another sloppy storm

And much to our surprise and delight, the pear solar light decided to glow.

Another storm averted. Just a half an inch of snow before turning over to rain.
