Good morning, Dave and all ~

I was going to suggest creeping thyme, but you already mentioned it. In my experience, it is the easiest small ground cover I can think of. I have several varieties growing here as it is cold hardy and heat and drought tolerant once established and not fussy about soil. The second one that comes to mind is veronica. There are two lovely ones that I got from High Country Gardens last year and they are blooming now. I haven't gone outside yet, as it is quite cold this morning. I did not take my plants off the shelves last night and wrap them up so I hope that they are not frozen solid, but they all are hardy, since they were sown outside, but still quite small. I will check for damage. Let me know if you would like me to send you some thyme....still, veronica has lovely blue flowers, the thymes I have are all pink....

The sun is shining now and the snow is melting. Last night the moonlight on the snow was quite lovely. I sure hope that this is the last of it as in the 23 years I have lived up here, we have not had snow in April. Last year, March 14th was the last snow of the season.

I hope everyone has a wonderful day...
