I have few words of comfort. I’d like to think it can’t rain every day, but life with fibro is constant.
Let’s hope the cold doesn’t linger.
We liked it too! Maybe next year as this year’s orders arrive next week.

Now I manage a large terracotta migration… each season. 🤔
A dynasty rises…

We bought rolls of bubble wrap from a big box store. Measured and cut. Use tape to hold sparingly because removal is unpleasant, but do tape seams. Clips and ties to hold in place.

Same interior photo as before but now there are 2 large potted hydrangeas in the walk way.
It’s getting crowded.

Such an amazing story…
King Kale.
Lean into it…
Abundance of caution. Plus, they’re in pots and we can have a cold spike. We lost 3/4 of our dahlia tubers a couple years ago when it did not get over 20°F for a week (and we didn’t check them… so our fault).

A yellow rose without blemish surrounded by forest green rose leaves. An outer petal has a slight pinkish hue to the very edge.
