Permit me to dream.

Like many other northern clime dwellers, I'm sick-to-death of winter.

I am in need of some intensive warm weather therapy.

My side yard in its lush phase.

I yearn to be out digging in the dirt: working in my yard.

My garden in late summer.

Perhaps tomorrow I'll go out and collect smooth beach rocks to add to my dry river bed.


I hope the frog that lives in my bigger pond survives his hibernation.


Over the course of last summer all  the frogs but one, left.


I know the fish are OK as I've seen them.


I wonder if the salamanders hibernated under the bridge between the ponds ?


The temperatures are due to slowly start rising this week.

Like I said, I can't wait for it all to thaw so I can dig in the dirt.


How 'bout you ?

    1. Thanks Sara. It's pretty drab at this time of year and full of mushy dog turds just waiting for the spring harvest.

  2. I'm with you Sybil. Everything is covered with snow, again, and I long for spring. How wonderful that you have ponds and frogs in your garden. It looks lovely.

    1. They're just very small ponds Bonnie, as it's a very small yard. But I do love having them.

    1. Saw my first crocus today Les. It's just slowing up so very slowly.

  5. I think we are all dreaming with you, Sybil ! Such a lovely, exotic looking garden. Has the weather been more spring like and have you been digging in the dirt ? Nothing of the sort here, too cold yet but crocus, some daffodils and forsytias do not seem to mind. At long last some colours ! Thanks for those pretty pictures.

    1. Thanks.

      Only got out digging yesterday for the first time. Boy is that late. Still pretty chilly. We have crocus out but no blooming daffodils yet. Certainly not forsythias.
