Brrr Lin.. The wildlife that emerges in cooler months is very stunning. I would be snapping pictures like crazy..

Ann... so your DDH is the one who brought this cold down with him, lol.. Now we know, hehe.

I hear you Dawn about the Birds waiting for you to get their birdbath liquified.. I have spoiled mine too pretty much.

Here is what I did with the Passionvines so far. It is against the South fence (warmed from the backside), but the sun doesn't shine directly on them this time of year. All I could do is tent them with thick poly and leave a tiny bit open. So far they aren't freezing.. It looks a little tacky right now, bc I need to paint the planter box next Spring. I want to paint murals around the back yard on the planter, and on the front of the shed back there. You know, Butterflyish animations, stuff like that..
