But the cosmos and zinnias are only getting started, the asters will be getting going soon and it'll be almost a month before we can even start to think about looking for mums. (<I>BTW, drop me an email sometime about your plans...</I>)<BR/><BR/>Birdie, winter is a little duller here, though we can usually rely on the indoor favorites like Christmas cactii, african violets and pointsettias for floral excitement. <BR/><BR/>The landscape is still spectacular (<I>the best sunsets, I think, are the winter ones</I>)...so there'll be no lack of beauty at the MG. <BR/><BR/>Plus, seed catalogs!!<BR/><BR/>Dykewife, the insect thing was a katydid nymph (<I>picture of a full grown one a few nights back</I>), who somehow got inside the house this weekend.

I've never seen that before. It has to be too heavy! That first bachelor's button with a profile view has an interesting view of what look like black legs or arms reaching for the sky. ;-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
