Snowing again...

Yesterday, I saw a Forsythia blooming in somebody's yard in a neighboring town. Today, it snowed again. Go figure. I have to add, though, that the snow didn't stick and it has already melted.




Every place I went today, I looked at seeds and plants. Can you believe I didn't come home with any plants? What's that you say? I must not be feeling well? Now that you mention it, I don't feel well, but I do think I am starting to get over my cold. Maybe the Cardamine I ate yesterday helped. Even though I didn't buy any plants, I found some more seed packets to add to my collection. A couple of tomatoes and an okra. Yes, okra. Even though I don't like okra (gasp!), I feel obligated to try to grow it since I live in the South now.


Have a beautiful day!

Ruth,

This is a great post! I found out you are going to grow okra you are not going to eat! You have my number right?

Love you!

Growing okra just because you live in the South is like drowning just because you live in a swamp.

The snow was beautiful to see falling.

Nice to see that people are the same all around the world.

Rihane, Yes, people are the same all around the world! :) Sometimes it just doesn't seem right if I don't come home with something for the garden! :)

Julie, I'll try not to drown! :)

M, this being the South, I will have to fry the okra, as well as grow it, but you are welcome to come have some! :) You can have what I don't eat! :)

I have snowdrops blooming in my front yard!! Not really related to your post, other than the "snow" part, but I thought I'd tell you. :)

Snowdrops! How exciting! :) I don't have snowdrops, but they are on my list of plants to grow in the future! :)
