Fairy Gardens

This is something I would like to try this year.
This blog has the instructions.

I started thinking about them when I saw this article in our local paper. These are not the best pictures, but I wanted a quick way to preserve the article without retyping it.  I suppose I could have tried to find a link, but I didn't

The photo with the article.

The article itself.

 The little bit under the picture all together to make it easier to read.

 Our winter is still in the up and down mode.  We have nice days, and then it dips down in the freezing and below range.  We got an unexpected snow, January 8th.  We looked out after dark to see the flakes coming down. I love snow.  I don't really know why, but when I watch the snow falling gently in the dark, it does something to me.  It's a sad, glorious, hard to explain feeling. 

 We got about an inch.

Beautiful days start with a beautiful sunrise.  January 13th, 7:59 am.

The 15th, we had a high of 62 degrees.  Jim and I went biking for our exercise.  I noticed that the rose bush in the front of the house has been growing in these warm days.

That has all ended again, with a temp this morning of 7 and another inch of snow.  I scooped off the driveway for my exercise this afternoon, and it is melting off. It was 20 mid-afternoon. This can't be good for the plants.  Jim watered the trees, too.
