Texas is getting snow and nice and we're going to be getting cold cold rain tomorrow. Yesterday was wonderful -- upper seventies and sunny -- but now it's gray and wet and in the 40s, and it's only going to get colder.<br /><br />We are lucky though, we get a lot of nice days. <br /><br />Love the anemone seed heads. You must live in moss paradise. Moss is fascinating stuff and adds so much interest to the garden.sweetbayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248743114944736346noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-59727937947007726342013-12-06T15:48:09.988-08:002013-12-06T15:48:09.988-08:00My tenders have 2 choices: be gorgeous and come in...My tenders have 2 choices: be gorgeous and come inside or drop leaves, release pestilence levels of insects and die outside. Some get trialed in the house and then are whisked back out to die on the front deck. It's a very brutal life here in the subzero north.<br /><br />And I will never, ever forget Elephant Snot.

Certainly rain is a common denominator as I've got several mossy growths too. I love moss though, leave it in place and occasionally stroke it. Don't mind if the birds help themselves though at nesting time :) Thanks for your recent comment on my blog and congratulations on your fifth year of blogging :) You are right - we did start at the same time and I've greatly enjoyed my visits here and have appreciated all your friendly and thoughtful comments on my blog xxxAnnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10794392333038962798noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-78652519990295119282013-12-05T18:17:50.029-08:002013-12-05T18:17:50.029-08:00this post charmed me...very interesting...save tho...this post charmed me...very interesting...save those puffy delights..the mossy was afiry worthysharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529895941009940357noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-86396896103189762122013-12-05T08:32:08.374-08:002013-12-05T08:32:08.374-08:00Loveliness.

We had some unseasonably warm temperatures up until today. The streets and sidewalks were icy awhile this morning. I think it only got up to 30 or so. I am having trouble warming up. I think it is supposed to get down to single digits tonight. Well, at least the days will start to get longer again in a few weeks.<br /><br />I enjoyed your moss photos. I don't think we have much of that here, but I have seen some on some stumps.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685430032033752352.post-59923234714117013142013-12-04T19:31:36.803-08:002013-12-04T19:31:36.803-08:00I never in my life saw so much moss as I have sinc...I never in my life saw so much moss as I have since we moved to the PNW six years ago!

Well, it's only because all my family lives here. Actually, a little winter is OK with me...I just don't like it to drag on like it does.

Not enjoying this whole cold business but no one asked us what we wanted. I think I'm ready but always discover one or two things that make me wish that I'd protected them or brought the inside. Oh well.outlawgardenerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08273973572989510382noreply@blogger.com
