It's zero F here tonight, and of course windy. I'm very grateful I got that mulch spread a few days ago. <BR/><BR/>Kate, I'm with you about the weather...we're nearing - 40 but not quite there, even with wind chill.

That kind of reminds me of my yew hedge. Usually it's green, but now, with this subzero (F) weather, it's turned nearly black. It's too cold here to look for signs of Spring. I'll just enjoy yours.Mr. McGregor's Daughterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05911409327006498766noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-15274307610965837352008-01-19T13:28:00.000-04:002008-01-19T13:28:00.000-04:00That pieris of yours looks wonderful and I love th...That pieris of yours looks wonderful and I love that curly willow too.<BR/><BR/>There's a lot of promise in my garden. I worked in my garden this week as it was so mild outside (around 10 to 12 C) and found serveral herds ;-) of snowdrops about to flower and the dafs are poking their noses through the soil and so many plants are developing buds. Spring is on its way!Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-85158903079346119522008-01-19T11:15:00.000-04:002008-01-19T11:15:00.000-04:00Thanks for taking us on your walk.

I had never looked at my rhododendran leaves like that....I just saw them as ugly when they curl and look cold. I will watch them more closely now. I enjoy visiting your blog every day.

I have a peris but not a pink one. There is forsythia, pussy willow, magnolia all with buds. I will have to have a look around again to see if there is anything else spring-like.
