Let's have a garden party!
This is the worst time of year for me. I absolutely hate the cold. I find I have less and less tolerance for it each year. I sleep with my socks on and try to stay indoors as much as possible. And I feel gloomy, too.
It's not only the bleak weather that makes me so miserable -- I also hate the gray skies, the dead lawns and the lack of bright sunlight. I'm like a plant that goes dormant in winter. Sure I perk up a bit around January, when the garden catalogs start arriving, living vicariously through the bright colored blooms on their pages, but this year I'm going to be proactive.
I'm hosting a garden party, and you're invited. You tell me what keeps you going through the winter (by posting comments here on the blog) and I'll post entertaining, amusing and informative entries.
Following the lead of my friends at the Pet Rock blog, we'll have You Tube Thursdays, with garden-related videos. Some will be informative, but most will be entertaining and amusing to brighten up those gloomy days.
Be sure to join us for Plant Profile Mondays, Recommended Book Wednesdays and Gardens Around the World Fridays, too.
I'm cold and depressed, so please stop by often to warm up, ask questions, share your musings and help Spring return as quickly as possible.
Here's a blast from the past to get us started. Let's consider it the appetizer course:
