Brrrr

It never got out of the 30s today, despite sunshine.  The water in the hose by the back patio froze, leaving the hose completely unusable to fill the birdbath, even at midday.

I am so anxious to get out there, that I put on my gardening clothes and a jacket and headed outside.  The ground was frozen solid, so there would be no digging in the earth, but I wanted to get the grasses cut down.  But after only a few moments out in the cold and wind, I went back inside.  My fingers were numb.

Cutting back will wait

Too cold, too raw, not worth being out there.  A real winter day.  Not even pleasant enough to go around taking pictures of emerging shoots or swelling buds.  Too cold.

I went inside and did the taxes.
