They will be back.

Oh Dear.....Roll on summer

I doubt that Summer would like that!

Very sharp, Toto ;-)

My goodness, Lori! You've got plenty of the white stuff there!

Haha, Toto. ;-)

Very stark........

Small reminder of wonderful things to come lori, come on Spring.....!

I found a perfect rationalization for not cleaning up all the plant stems and cutting it all down to earth....Rabbits! they've pruned the rose canes sticking out of the snow...they've eaten the echinacea stems after the sparrows and junco's have scattered the seed... they burrowed into a snowbank to feast on feverfew...makes me appreciate the white blanket for what it is ...a great insulator! Amen, Flcrazy.... "come on Spring!"
