Ferns


You look like pocket sized dragons.
Or maybe little green elves, standing, stretching,
and yawning in slow motion.
You might want to crawl back in bed little buddies,
it's pretty cold out here.
Hit the snooze for a few more days.

I heard frost for morning, do you think I should cover my peonies and hostas that have already peeked their little tender shoots up?

Diana You know, I'm kind of a purist when it comes to that kind of stuff. I usually just let nature take it's course. If I have a plant that is a favorite of mine or something new I just put in, I might cover it, but usually I just let them fend for themselves. Gosh, that sounds so harsh.

It wouldn't hurt to throw an old sheet over them, just to be safe. Peonies are so pretty, you'd hate to lose them.

Hmmm.. didn't they check the weather forecast? If you promise not to tell the animal rights people you could probably get them to put on their little ferncoats!

I love fiddleheads!! I nice layer of leaves will protect them.

PS- when do you plan on torturing, I mean, allowing you and your family the enjoyment of using the rock tumbler? :)

I agree with the pocket sized dragon thing.

I agree completely..yet I never would have worded it that way.

You are so awesome.

i love you.

Rhen Hmmm, the rock tumbler might just stay in the box for another couple years. I don't know if I'm ready for that kind of commitment. They seem kind of high maintenance.
