CMK- That's beautiful! Thank you for thinking of us...and you should join us for tea...or any beverage you choose, after that link :)

I love all the pinks, greens, yellows, lavender in the garden...it looks so much like spring! Another month and the daffodils should be poking up...they probably already are in your area.

Thanks again and stop by next Thursday...for Valentine's tea!

I spent a long time at the site last night. Thanks for sharing.

Glad you guys enjoyed it ;-)

Actually, there ARE some bulbs showing out in the front (a little warmer there than backyard)! And I think one of the peonies has a few eyes poking up too. What time do you think your bulbs will start to come up in your zone? I sure hope we don't have anymore snow...I am getting used to all this nice sunshine!

CMK- I doubt we'll see anything popping up for at least another three or four weeks. It's just too cold, in fact, it's snowing right now and has been all afternoon. I'm kind of glad, since we're supposed to get more cold weather (and we're about 10-15 degrees colder out here) so I've been a little worried about my lavender.

So...you said you were looking up info on a rose. Are you thinking of getting another rose for your garden? I think that's a wonderful idea, of course :)

It was snowing here yesterday too, but looks like it all melted this morning!

Hope your lavenders pull through. Are they all Hidcotes? If you do a scratch test (scratch the older wood with your fingernail) and see green you will know they are still living. Last year, when I moved my big lavender plant, I took a couple of cuttings just in case. I was surprised how well they did, considering these were my first attempts at propagation from cuttings and working with rooting hormone. Maybe you could try some too? In case one of your plants ever ends up dying out you would have a nice replacement. ;-)

Lol! Not sure there is any more room for roses! In fact, I was looking up how big 'The Dark Lady' rose I have is going to get. Poor thing, I may have to move it again if it outgrows its space (should have thought of this before, I know!). Crossing my fingers that it will stay the 3-4ft around and not get too much bigger!

Those photos are so beautiful. I have always wondered how anyone (especially someone who gardens) can have a white interior. It amazes me how beautiful and clean everything looks.
Seems like I just look sideways and there is 2" of cat hair and a sprinkling of red clay dust over everything....

GGG, you and I seem to be on the same wave length, those photos are really lovely. I can visualize an elegant lady in a flowing organza dress, donned in white gloves and wearing a wide brimmed hat, carrying a basket of long stem roses she's just cut from the garden.
Haven't got red clay here but the color of our dirt was given serious consideration when choosing the color of our floor tiles a couple of years ago and, talk about cat hair... we were expecting company yesterday, all I can say is the birds looking for nesting material are going to think they found a glory hole :)

Whew, glad I'm in good gardener company on this one. Sometimes I think people in the magazines must have hired help following them around with a mop and broom.

But I still like to look.
