Can you turn up the heat?

Danae Pick loves my sunflowers but not our cold weather!   David & Danae Pick, who are here visiting their grandparents, Ed & Marian Pick, are braving the cold weather to check me out!  Our current 14 degrees is a bit colder than what they are used to in Port Saint Lacie, Florida.  They were great sports, but decided not to play "I Spy" too long.  Come back and see me soon!

Happy New Year!

Don't let a little snow keep you from stopping by!

A little winter weather didn't stop my three new friends from Cedar Rapids, Iowa from playing "I Spy" with me this morning!  They even informed me that this weather was nothing compared to Iowa! :-)
While it was too cold to find more than one butterfly and one bee, they have vowed to come back for another visit when it is warmer out.  So far their favorite items on my wall are the sunflowers and the cottonwood tree.

Snow, Snow, Snow!

It is currently a balmy 9 degrees out this fine afternoon!  It has been one week since we received 15" of snow and the boys still look as if they are standing knee deep in snow.  Could someone turn the heat up now? 

You never know who might show up at the wall!

It was the day before Thanksgiving and the weather was clear.  I was just hanging around when who should appear? 
This rowdy bunch named after a snake,
Of this I wasn't sure what to make!
After a few moments of shooting the breeze,
An exceptional group of Explorers it was easy to see.
Thank you for stopping you made my day,
please stop again when you're out this way!
