{Vinca minor}Yesterday, though, in the sun, the snow appeared much more cheerful. My little hummingbird wind chime stood out in all the white. A couple of years ago, I decided it needed more color, so I added the glass beads. I did have it adorning a pot, but I redid the pot and it has been in the ground for months now. It hangs on small shepherd's crook sort of thing.
Now here is a cozy way to spend the winter, completely oblivious to all that is going on while waiting (and waiting and waiting) for spring to come. I have lots of them all over the garden. If you don't know what this is, leave a comment for me and I will tell you in a comment, so be sure to check back.
{Buddleja davidii var. nanhoensis 'Nanho Blue'}Of course, you knew I would put in a photo of my ever-joyful Johnnies. The snow and chilly temperatures don't bother them a bit. Oh, that I could feel the same way.
{Viola tricolor}Apparently, Tiger likes Johnnies as well as I do. Maybe for a different reason, though.
Have a beautiful day!

Spring will come.

Okay, I'm a sucker. I kept waiting for someone else to ask, but since nobody else will!!! What is that clump of twine in the snow-covered flowers?
Actually, those aren't snow covered flowers; that buddleja just has silvery leaves, especially so this time of year. And the "clump of twine" is a Praying Mantis egg case. Later in the spring, dozens and dozens of tiny Praying Mantises will come out of it. I will try to get pictures when it happens. Thanks for responding! :)
