Peek A Boo! I see you! |
Got a taste
of Spring yesterday with all the warm weather and sunshine. The cold, wind and
snow are back this morning though.
Wisconsin weather, you are such a tease!
My container plants seem anxious for spring as well. Yesterday
I found overwintered geraniums starting to bloom.
They’ve surprised me a couple of times now. It’s the first time I’ve overwintered
geraniums and when I brought them inside this past Fall they set seed and I had
fluffy seedheads all over the dang place.
Some seeds even rooted in the soil of other houseplants. What a mess but it was kind of fun watching the cats chase the fluff.
The geraniums seem happy but I’ve really
struggled to keep my star jasmine vines going.
Even in the basement where it’s cooler, it just isn’t humid enough. I’m watering them almost daily but they’re still
looking dessicated. Putting them
under a grow light might have been a mistake.
These spruce trees are like the local bar-everyone hangs out there. |
I think they were pine grosbeaks, which I thought wintered in the far north of the state. I know I’ve never seen them around here before. I wonder what they are doing down here?
They were a dash of color on a white winter's day and so are my unexpected geranium blooms. Both put a smile on my face.
