Our cats are always getting into the houseplants as if they think they are small enough to use it as a litter box.

What a disappointment for them! But it's not a bad thing. As you said, the snow makes a great thermal blanket for flowers in winter.<br /><br />Hi, Sweet Bay! That blue and white flower is an African Violet. <br /><br />Hey, Brad; I've been enjoying the springtime pictures on your blog.

The countdown to spring doesn't seem real, our winter here in southeast TN has been so much colder and so much more snow than ever recorded. 91 days to planting does seem daunting, best hide that one away.
