On Redbush's last blog she complained about the weather being too dry, and hot. She believes mother nature has sought vengeance again her and has given her really something to complain about. The last three days have been wintery with lots of wet snow, and below freezing temperatures. Many of her poplar trees have broken limbs from the heavy, wet snowfall. Redbush has had to take her plants into the garage, so, the garage countertops are covered. She has to make sure they are up high enough so Beatle doesn't eat the occasional pansy, geranium, or begonia. Redbush is happy that she didn't decide to plant her bedding plants until it warmed up more. She isn't complaining about the added moisture,though. In fact she is celebrating that the weather has decided to give her all this moisture. Now all the water tanks in the yard are full, so it will make watering the plants much less a worry. She is hoping tomorrow will make it warm enough to let her plants enjoy the sunlight again. The little guy in the first photo ( a rose-breasted grosbeak) and some of his like buddies have been visiting her bird feeder lots lately. I'm sure he's hoping for the same. She hopes all of you are having a great long weekend, and making the best of the snow. Here's wishing you a fabulous week ahead. She will leave you with some photos she took of mother nature's recent weather attack on her yard.

Green tree branches in the snow--that's an unusual sight. I hope all your plants will be all right.

Love the picture of the rose-breasted grosbeak - they are such pretty birds, and have such a pretty song!
Hope all your plants made it through the storm intact!
Yes it is unusual, Solarity, and I hope it doesn't happen again anytime soon! All my plants look like they weathered it. Yeah!
Bag Lady, we used to just get one pair of rose-breasted grosbeaks visiting in the spring. Now we have three. I love them! The plants all look healthy! Touch wood! Hope yours did too! Thanks!
Well yuck! But it sure did make for some lovely photos.
Thanks for stopping, Hilary! I'm hoping we've seen the last of the white stuff at least until October! The plants and I need to feel a little warmth.
Sharp photos.
I'm enjoying the summer here in the northeast. Pure, fresh air mornings.
Thanks, David! I'm glad your weather is great! Hope you have lots more days like it! It just hasn't warmed up here, although we have crisp, fresh air mornings here.
