Hiding In The Hay

One of our cats, Hodgey, was so happy when the hay was laid in the garden in preparation for our first upcoming winter storm. At first all I could see was the back end of the cat, then I went around the hay and his head was peering out. I wondered at that moment, did he realize he could still be seen, or really didnt care but was enjoying playing?

Until next time. Happy gardening.

First Winter Ice 2009

Living in Central Texas we normally don't see such frigid temperatures. We had our first hard freeze due to an Artic front. Temperatures got down to 22 degrees at my home. The day before we were told to expect 1-3 " of snow, but I guess we were a little too north of the moisture coming from the coast. Houston and the Gulf area saw record snows.

Here are a few photos my husband took of my garden the morning of the freeze. It looked like a winter wonderland of ice. Oh how a few weeks can make such a difference in the garden. At Thanksgivng we were still enjoying the flowers bloomng and butterflies.

Until next tme Happy Gardening.

Blessings
