Description well, I have a new definition for rotten... and that is when it's been Spring for more than two weeks... with temperatures in the 60's and 70's (15.5 to 21.1 C) and then Mother Nature allows Old Man Winter to sneak his ugly presence back in!!

It has rained most of the day, and before morning, it is supposed to go down to 25 degrees (-3.8 C) and begin AAAARRRRRGGGGHHHH!!

So, my sweet hubby Bob =TThealer went out and rescued our cold and wet daffodils, before they froze!!

I think if I were you I'd keep Bob Mine hasn't gotten a flower from the yard ever, though he has bought me some a few times. Beautiful capture and framing.

No I haven't asked him to - he says, and it's true, "they only die", of course they die still on the plant too, oh well nobody's perfect.

A little tale - I was in the hospital in S FL. He stopped and picked up a large vase of flowers for me and put them on the floor of the car.

Then went to the Union Hall for some reason and stayed for a couple hours with the windows closed in the car, oh did I say it was in the summer, though any time probably would have been hot.

Then went to get a bite to eat.

Then came to see me proudly surprising me with the flowers. He wondered why they died so fast.

When it comes to plants he enjoys from afar but doesn't "get it".

He does the grass/weeds and keeps the yard neat but that's as far as it goes.

Hope business is booming.

I can't imagine your backup here on DA, I'm behind, yours has to be sooooooooooooooooo much more.

It would be nice to have them in the Kitchen!!!

LadyAliceofOz In reply to PridesCrossing [2009-03-29 06:42:58 +0000 UTC]

Thanks Sandy! the tops of the daffodil fronds are all that is sticking out from under the snow, now, so they definitely would have been toast... if Bob hadn't gone out and cut them all. We are really enjoying the kitchen being full of daffodils!!
Did you get a lot of snow? Our freezing rain turned to big fat flakes of snow in the early afternoon... and we now have several inches on top of the ice

Thank you Marcia! yes, it's hard to believe that Bob =TThealer and I worked out in the yard, just a week ago... in our shirt sleeves, enjoying the warm on our faded out winter skin now everything is covered with a layer of ice, and several inches of snow!!
btw, thanks for the , too!

yes, and they are so pretty in the 5 vases all over the kitchen! All that is showing outside, now, of their foliage... is the tops... buried under the layer of ice and several inches of snow
Thanks for the David!!

Thank you very much Matthias! You have a very nice gallery in the works!
you'd end up with a lot more exposure, if you would drop a few more s in your DA travels....
and if you would like to know how I did the border, I'll be happy to share just note me!

The little ones we've got in our garden are beginning to fade but and I have a 'date' to go to a place called Daffodil Hill the first weekend of April I'm hoping that because it's at a higher elevation the flowers will still be good!

That sounds like fun!
a lot of the ones that Bob brought in tonight, are just starting to open, and they would have been toast by morning

LadyAliceofOz In reply to kayaksailor [2009-03-29 07:35:03 +0000 UTC]

probably so but, right now, I'm afraid the photographer would end up being the popsicle!! Old Man Winter is being a nasty bugger tonight!! BRRRR!
