The "frosty stuff"

Sorry Bill.... I lied! That's the Beni Komachi Sport. If you look closely at the picture, you can see another shrubby looking thing in the shadows behind it, that's koto no ito in the back ground. Sheesh.... I think that I'm going to have to check the time stamp on the picture and stand out in the yard at that time and see which of those two is getting "catching some sun" at that time. :-p Should be Beni Komachi Sport though. Sorry :-/

Now that was a wonderful, almost, run-on sentence that even Pixie would be proud of. Your dedication to getting it right is almost as amazing as your picture.

Good morning everyone! I woke up to another frosty morn, but got a pic of this first.

Then I took this one about 20 minutes later.

Then this.

This.

I'm sorry I left you for a few minutes, DH and I have found a gorgeous 25' Catalina sailboat for sale in Chelan, WA that we're very interested in purchasing and I'm in communication with the owner.
Here's another pic just after sunrise. Just barely peeking through the clouds.

Now it's trying to get foggy again. To the east.

To the south. I so don't want to see the blue sky go away, but hopefully it will only be for a short while. As for the hoarfrost, I just think it makes for a gorgeous landscape.

Susan I just love the second to last one that you posted! It's beautiful!! I agree, the sunrise makes the frost look so pretty.


Thanks Laurie! :-p I'm great with run on sentences! For better or worse, I have a bad habit of simply typing things in just the same manner as I think them. I make a conscience effort to leave out any explitives, but that's it. lol I had better get the maple right, Bill is getting good at identifying them!

Thank you Shelly!

not that good since i did not know which one it was only that it was one - i will admit that i thought koto was not an upright grower so i looked a little closer.

This was taken in Dec 08...but he looked very much the same this morning. Why go out into the cold to take another shot!!

Frosty Lambs Ears

Frosty Vinca

wha and nutsfordaylily - sooo glad to see you over here. I spend a lot of time here in the PNW as well as the NE. Both coasts are like family to me.
You PNWers need to check out wha's thread about the stone wall he built. It is a sight to behold. Bill, you did a great job.
Jan

thanks jan

Thanks for the reminder Jan. I agree, we all seem like family. Actually, it's also helps that much of the same stuff can grow in both places. I knew that Bill had a thread, but I forgot about it. Sorry Bill :-( Hey, Bill.... can you post the link here to it? It would definitely make it easier for folks who haven't found their way to the NE forum yet to find it. Koto is definitely an upright grower! just not a large upright one. More medium.

Bea.... I just love your Frog. It looks quite cold. Does it have a name?
That's an awesome pic of the lambs ears!

Yes Bill, I wanta see. Please Please!!!!!!!
I might lost it I leave PNW LOL

lol stop tattling on yourself Tilly :-p We know that you can make your way out of the PNWest....virtually! we don't want you to leave physically!

For anyone interested in checking out Bill's (wha) rock wall thread in the NE forums, here is the link: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/873748/

Great pics, everyone!

Karen

Ha Ha, But I did want to go, physically. Darn foiled again.
Okay, I'll stay put, going to check it out.

Now that was a heck of alot of work, Great Job.

Have to be, only way to keep my sanity LOL

I agree! That's my philosophy as well!

Very beautiful frosty pictures. I really enjoyed them, thanks so much for posting.

We never see anything like this here unless we go to the mountains.
