Cranberry Bush, Winter
I thought I'd post this series of winter/summer photos to remind us, who are weary of the snow and cold, that summer will come again. Despite -20 F. temps here and unrelenting snowstorms in eastern and southern states, we have every confidence that we will enjoy warm weather and beautiful, flowering plants again in a few months. Add another month for Wisconsin.

I would imagine that it won't be long before some of you are planting your cool-weather crops. Right now, it's almost hard to imagine.
We can't set out tomato plants until about the 5th of June. Parsnip seed can be planted in early May. How about you? When can you sow seeds directly in the soil and when can you set out tomatoes?
In a few months, we'll see all this glorious color!
But for now, we'll wait...
and be content with...
Colorful sunrises.
Have a great weekend, everyone!
