The Iceman Cometh
The big storm that has been in the news just barely grazed us. We got a steady sleet and just a little snow starting this morning around 9am. For a while, things looked ominous and the university closed at noon. Temperatures have crept up a little and it is now raining. If the temperatures do slip below freezing, we could be in trouble. Fortunately, that is not forecast to happen.
Pansies popping through the sleet
The cast iron plants on the patio still look good
The Whale's Tongue agave is a plant that I wanted after seeing it on Pam Pennick's Digging blog. I've read that it is super hardy. It has had its ups and downs since I planted it and I moved it earlier from the ground to a pot.
Hmmm, it looks like someone forgot to bring the pots in this year -
Camellia "C M Wilson" has blooms -
The whitest area I could find was behind the garage -

Your garden looks beautiful in its dusting of snow. I hope your Agave comes through okay, 'Whale's Tongue' is such a beautiful plant. Glad you were spared the worst of this storm. Stay warm! :)

I have to tell you, the soulful classic sound of "The Iceman Cometh" Jerry Butler is a favorite. Now I will have to download a few of his 'greatest hits' like: For Your Precious Love, Only the Strong Survive and Make It Easy On Yourself.
