January 23-29 A Winter Image
I couldn't stray outside the yard yesterday, but here are some reminders of either days gone by or those yet to come. ;-)
A variety of low-growing sedum
and
Heuchera "Lime Rickey"
And I know these aren't wildflowers, but it is evidence of plant life in Winter. And the amended rules tell us we can enter domestic flowers or plants during this season. ;-)
I greatly enjoy reading about how gardeners occupy themselves during winter. I hope your bread-baking adventures go well. There's something about cold weather and comfort food that work well together.
You're right about cold weather and comfort foods. I have to admit that I may have rushed the "second rise" of the bread somewhat. So, it's not photo-worthy. (It does taste good, however!) I'll try again.
Thanks for stopping. I'll be over your way to visit. :-)
Thanks for stopping, Pamela. Because Tuesday's weather was extremely windy, we were quite fortunate that we didn't have much snow left. Snow is in the forecast, however. It's still Winter. ;-)
Your little plants are being insulated. That's a good thing.

beautiful photos!
thanks Cheryl! ;-)
Lovely winter photos, thanks for the heads up on the winter garden photo contest, I know exactly what picture I am going to send.
Yea! I'm going to watch for it. ;-)
Lovely pictures, I especially like the low-growing sedum. Do have a rock garden?
I do have a bitty rock garden in front of the house. Low growing sedum are a perfect plant. :-) Thanks for visiting.

I have some sedum and colorful Heuchera in my flower beds... BUT, all covered with snow.
Isn't this fun.
Thanks for stopping, Pamela.
