okay after a day of "blizzard warnings" and "high wind advisories" I can really use a little green right now.... even a mosquito would be good !

oak leaf & hydrangea bloom -- hanging out in the snow and ice

a rather muddy icy mess -- spring can't come soon enough for this Diva

garden angel -- protecting the snow and drippings .... needs a new coat of paint ... (don't we all)

milkweed pods -- are now covered in ice

it's a reflections week -- and this picture is from a 2006 trip to Saint Cloud -- we hit every fabric, scrapbooking, craft and antique store -- and toured the Clemons - Muensinger Gardens.  The Gardens are part of the Saint Cloud Park system and well, they are fabulous. 

frost day in the valley -- and yes, there are dried weeds still woven in my fence
