In the morning, Nick is going to help me dig out the front steps....we have none at this point. And my plants (winter mini box gems) are turned over sideways and frozen in place.
I tired to pick them up, no chance for this Aussie.
Plus the ones on the ledges slid off as well and are frozen upside down in the snow/ice. I feel so silly....Aussie with plants in winter. Sigh.

It's just embarrassing Red ~ now I know why no one else has winter plants outside.

Welcome to whiners Red

Suze, I'm sorry about your plants doing a face plant in the snow and ice.

Very tired, honestly...this week of child care makes me realize why parents are YOUNG - LOL !

Winter mini box gems....a few big ones and some little ones.
They will be fine, really.

This is a photo I took of Ann the last time we were together. We were walking on the beach that we both loved. Doesn't she look amazing!

Oh Anna, that's lovely. It captures her spirit, joyous and indefatigable.

Our beautiful Ann. Thank you, Anna.

Red - I'm glad your garden is happy. What do you grow?

Suze - I don't think your plants would want to disappoint you by freezing to death, so they'll hold on . They know how hard you work to make a lovely display.

Welcome Red. I should point out to whiners that any nice, famous person who is from NZ, is magically owned by Australia.

Good to see you in Whinys, Red..

Anna, what a beautiful photo of Ann. ❤️

Hev, I was the same when putting the collage together. Happy tears though for being blessed to have known Ann, albeit through the pages of Whinys and SR.

Suze, hope your plants will be ok, they’re tough though and your green thumb will nurture them well.

Good evening all from the freezing cold Rocky Mountains. Ooh boy, am I ready for Spring!

Least thanks for the directions to Ann's story and Anna that is a lovely picture.

Red, I think we were in the same SR class? You might not remember me but I do you. So good to see you! Come on in and whine away!!

Today, had some snow shoveling, sewing and a bit of housework . . . bit of a slow day but ah well.
