The division of the snowdrops did not happen because they were frozen solid. It made me laugh. It took a hard stomp with the shovel to split the clumps in half. They will thaw. The soil will crumble. The division will happen.

Failure Of Processes
The fire would not catch because the sticks were too wet. It will burn when it is ready.
All the more reason to marvel at 'Jelena' after the ice storm. How could you not like a flowering shrub with blooms this cold hardy.
'Arnold' has yet to achieve a complete unfurling. It creeps open in the cold.
I wander in a garden bathed in long beams of sunshine. Light dancing.
Glass catches and reflects the light.
Where snowdrops thrive in frozen ground.

Good morning Christopher: This is sure turning out to be a very wet winter. Will have to remember it in July or August when the rain will be but a short memory. I used the two days of sun to work on creating a dry creek bed in my Zen garden. Cool weather is great for building stuff; you don't sweat as much. Jelena sure is a fiery wench. Especially wonderful to gaze at on a gray winter day. Gypsy
Yes we are having a real winter this year Gypsy. Currently raining pretty hard. I have not quite reached cool working weather -60 degrees- yet.
It looks good to see green all around. I am still awaiting the snow melt. I thought today it would be down low enough to see a Galanthus but not yet. I did see a Hellebore peeking out of the snow. No bloom yet but there was a bud or two trying to show itself.
Lisa I freaked out this morning when the rain turned to pouring big fat flake snow. It poured snow for an hour and started to stick. It stopped after noon and melted. That was not the last snow of course.
