Another snow came along and snowed for a good part of the day. Just for a while, I sat out in the frozen stillness of the front porch and watched the big flakes fall. My gardens are ready for planting..........but on days like this...........I spend much of the time designing, planning, and stitching. My "site" is ready for me to start selling my
handmades "on line", but no matter how long I stitch.........it takes forever to get enough things accumulated to sell.
In no time, the sun came out and the snow quickly melted. Even in these frozen temperatures, the stock flower produces it's fragrant blossoms in the vibrant color of purple. This is such a strong, hardy plant. It stays green all year long. It grows up to 2 ft. with wood like stalks and can tolerate the Texas heat and drought. I have just transplanted a little over 80 of these young plants in a solid role to serve as a natural fence along my flower garden. So far, some of these plants have lived here on the grounds for 2 years.

I'm looking at your work today, it speaks out and says "I take time and patience". It's all so beautiful, I hope you sell out. Did you decide about the farm market?
ReplyDeleteLove the flowers too with the snow, how pretty.
It's hard to believe that the flowers survive in the snow like that! Beautiful!
