Does my spirea still bloom? No! It has turned black and crumbles Where are the tiger lilies with their spots? Hidden beneath the cold, wet earth until.... Did I not have peonies in two colors? They disappeared, my love, but not dead Only hidden deep within my heart Waiting for the ignition of my low simmering flame

Yes, Harry, this one is a little different. I looked out the window and the lush summer flowers were still hidden what was above ground was all black, dead and crumbly. I thought sometimes I feel like my garden looks. Your visits delight me. Sara

Valsa, We do have some blossoms on the trees and some blooming of Jonquils and daffodils with pollen increasing each day but spring isn't officially here yet. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

So sweet Sara, how we miss our flowers in winter! But soon, the snow will melt, a new day will dawn and the garden flowers will bloom anew! Hope you are having a very blessed, and may I add, warm and sunny day! God bless you Sara <3 ~BJ

It has warmed up here, B.J., I think maybe at least 80 today but it drops down at night still. I enjoy the sun coming through the windows every day that it does. Your visit to my page was inspiring. Sara
