A little snow and sleet on The Fiat 500 POP
And the Buddha, too!
The hellebores lie down on cold evenings.
But stand beautiful as the day warms….

A beautiful day for some garden work!
It’s around 52f today but sunny with a bright blue sky! It’s a great day for yard work!
The garden centers seem desperate for business so you can find some greats deals! I took the opportunity to add to my hellebore collection!
I purchased a Josef Lemper and a Merlin to add to my collection!
I have been building my collection along the front walk for ten years and the oldest plants are large and reseeding.The new hybrids seem to reseed prolifically!
It will be interesting to see what colors the flowers will be as this clump has a parent which is pink!
Of course, Gus enjoys the sun and is very content to chew limbs which fall from the trees on this very windy day!
Warm days like this remind me that we only have about a month of winter here in the Piedmont of North Carolina!
The spring bulbs are reminding me, too!

Is that Spring just around the corner?
As winter continues it is typically mild. There was one night where the temperatures reached the teens otherwise the days are in the upper 40s and nights are in the low 30s.
Even with these temps there are winter bloomers:
Wintersweet
Snowdrops
Witchhazel ‘Jelena’
Hellebore
The early crocus have begun to bloom, too!
Our last killing frost is usually the second week of March with the possibility of light frost into the first week of April.
Spring is in the air!
