A great idea to get out there and observe the little signs of life that are hard to see from inside looking out.<br />We have a few Knock Out Roses still in bloom and a few clumps of white blossoms just popping out on one of our newer additions to the garden. Not sure what they are called, however.Happy@Homehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15748146424809856063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-50715566315596736942016-01-13T09:01:04.772-08:002016-01-13T09:01:04.772-08:00I love Winter gardens, and landscapes.

The oddest thing is the ivy geranium that I set down beside the house back in October - still blooming!<br />I may not comment, but I read all your posts. I find them uplifting and heartening.

It is lovely to see the new signs of Spring along with those spent buds, flowers from the past season. I have dried Roses and Hydrangeas that I plucked years ago when fresh and just looked at them yesterday...remembering time then and looking forward to more in the future.

In my garden we are seeing the first signs of daffodils, crocus, lilies, and even buds beginning to open on the camellia. I get so excited when I see these first signs. Your rose made me smile.

For the first time ever, Ron needed to mow the lawn in December. And until last week, I still had parsley in my herb garden. What?! Crazy garden happenings!

It is only three years old so I'm not sure it will bloom yet - they told me seven years - that's a long long time, but worth it. Not much else is showing anything in the garden - just a few leftover violas.

Being outdoors with the camera makes you very observant.<br /> I've not much idea what will be popping up in our small garden, as it has only been Autumn and winter since we owned it. I am watching each day how the sunlight (when there is any!) falls and 'travels' so that I'll know where to put things for the best in future. <br />It feels a long way off Spring, but I have seen one small clump of snowdrops in a churchyard...only one.<br />Patience. ;)Alex https://www.blogger.com/profile/13677926811045888256noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-38904271.post-66388912822485425672016-01-11T13:11:37.170-08:002016-01-11T13:11:37.170-08:00Our daffodils peeked out after all our warm wet we...Our daffodils peeked out after all our warm wet weather, and we had to mow the lawn again. The daffodils are stopped midway now and I wonder how they will fare in another month when they normally show their faces.
