Here in Chicago we are expecting a lot of snow(6-10inches), but only yesterday I was in the yard scoping out a new hosta bed and a place for some groundcover roses. My DH says I am trying to eliminate all the grass in the yard! I think he is right. Who needs grass anyway?
A few of my plants were trying to sprout so I covered them up a bit more to protect from the snow. Spring will come soon, if we can make it through January and February! However, the red twig dogwoods do look nice this year.
Still dreaming of spring.
My grandson (David)spent the night last night, what a joy at 6 months! The pic is him with his Mommy.
