I know we need cold weather here but I don't have to like it. I keep the waterfall running all winter and it keeps the pond from completely freezing over and the ice that forms around it can be pretty. The fish slow down and keep to the bottom. I feel like those fish, I slow down too. I still have to feed all my animals and walk the dog but I don't enjoy it as much as I do in the summer.This is when I begin planning this years garden. Is the drought going to continue? I certainly hope not but I think I need to plan for it. I do enjoy going through all the seed and plant catalogs that come in the winter. Sitting with a cup of tea and a garden catalog is a good way to spend
My name is Pat and I have been gardening most of my life. My husband Richard helps out with the heavy stuff. I love butterflies and have a Monarch Waystation. I also love animals and have cats, dogs, horses, angora goats, chickens and guineas.
