The 2024 Garden Year
January 19, 2024 January Our year started with snow, ice and frigid temperatures in mid-January. Our temperatures stayed below freezing for almost a week. I think it was the most consistent cold that we've experienced since moving here. Fortunately, it was a dry snow so there wasn't too much damage. Once again, we almost lost the azara and I'm afraid there would have been some breakage if I had not kept knocking the ice off. February 14, 2024 February In past years, it seems that inclement weather seems to hit around Michael's birthday in mid-February. After the January snow and ice, this month was actually quite tame. Nothing exciting to report - mostly birdwatching . Early flowers like hellebores, cyclamen and crocus begin to bloom in mid month. March 3, 2024 March I got into a walking routine which I'm happy to report I am continuing this year. You get to the point where you feel guilty if you miss a day. I do miss days occasionally but I'm learning that ...
Oooh so cute.
ReplyDeleteAdorable cats. They look quite content.
ReplyDeleteYeah, I think the left cat looks a little bothered by the right one, no?
ReplyDeleteReally good picture though.
I like the idea below of making your own soap for the laundry. Now, if I can only get my ass off the wagon and try it too.
Nice shot! They sure do look like they are enjoying the good life!
ReplyDeletePrecious! Your tabby looks like my Lily.
ReplyDeleteGot to try your laundry recipe.All the ingredients are readily available in my grocery store. I use Fells Naptha (a solution of) for garden pests.
How adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat's not very wordless! Nice kitty, kitty. Got four myself. Ten if you count the kittens. They need homes. Want one! Prissy is getting fixed! She's a floosy!
