    it's beautiful. You've done a wonderful job. I am feeling the same... I keep looking at the four foot mound of snow piled up on top of my iris bed....

    Wow, your gardens are beautiful. Your pics make me hungry for spring even more. At least if I had snow on the ground it wouldn't be quite as bad.

    I just edited the photos...I forgot to add winter!
    Thank you all for your comments. Yesterday it was sunny and 40 so I was out for a little while cleaning up sunflower seed shells and other debris in this garden. The ground is still frozen.

    I wanted to add a little color but the ground is still frozen. So I put there silk flowers under the rocks!

    Your garden and photos are lovely! I love the fact you have so many mature trees in your yard. My favorite has to be the summer photo with the Rudbeckia, Impatiens, and Roses with the birdhouse in the background. The photo following with all the Autumn colors is nice too.
    I don't think I have any photos of my gardens in the winter. If we ever get any snow I'll have to take some :)

    Such beautiful fotos, Gail.
    It was so nice to see blue sky, colourful flowers and some nice-looking dirt.
    Using those silk flowers was inspired.

    Don't dispair...Pansy's will be for sale in the stores soon amd you can replace the silk ones, is you choose. I have to say though, those silkies sure do look nice.

    It was so lovely to see the seasons in your yard. You've done such a terrific job of making it a showplace year round. Not an easy accomplishment. Can't wait to see more pictures throughout the year. :-D
