Cold and Snow

I am looking forward to the weekend, I hope to dig into my stack of catalogs and place a couple of orders. I always order from Bluestone Perennials and want to get that order placed this weekend so I get their early order discount.

Begonias, Christmas Cactus, Cupcakes

What do the three have in common? Nothing, just sharing some photos, my pretty little pink begonia has been in bloom for ages, my Christmas cactus still has a few blooms and these are some cupcakes I made last weekend.

It was supposed to be in the 50s here in Iowa today but it did not make it, but it is 44 right now, with another winter weather advisory on the way tomorrow, more snow is on the way.

Above Zero

The temps climbed above zero and the sky was blue, ahhhh, life is good! We finally were able to get out and about for a nice long walk. The below zero temps and all the ice have been shortening up our walks, the city cleaned a path around our local favorite lake so the walking was easy. A good time was had by all.

Too Cute for Words

Just sharing a few pictures that speak for themselves. It is snowing again! At least my roses should be snug as a bug in rug this winter, they have been snow covered for quite some time, and they like that.

Tour of Reiman Continues

It is a cold night in Iowa, -6 right now. But at least the sun was out today. Blue sky and sun always makes me feel better.

Since I don't have much in bloom inside or outside I am still sending Reiman Garden pictures. More snow today, light fluffy stuff, right now the temp is -2.

A Few More Reiman Pics

Roses of Reiman Gardens Aug 2007

I am ready to get my fingers dirty again, how about you? Right now the only dirty fingers I am getting is transplanting houseplants, which I do try to do each winter.

I left work early to drive up to see my Dad who is back in the hospital again, I fear the end is near, he is in kidney failure, he seems so agitated and in pain, I asked the nurse if they couldn't do more to help that and she is going to talk to the doctor, my Mother is going to talk to him as well tomorrow AM. I have never been through anything like this in my life so I have no experience to draw on but it sure seems he could be made more comfortable, they are not allowing him to have much to drink either because of the kidney failure, I don't understand that either.
