Bonnie's blog

Today it is cold and windy and the sun is all covered up by a gray, cloudy sky. I have lost 14 pounds on my diet but I can't stop thinking about wanting to have some cookies, a large bowl of ice cream and a package of M&M's.

The robins are so confused.? As you know, they have been hanging out in our trees for the past few weeks. Today we saw hundreds in the skies flying above the falling snow at P&B's Garden chirping .....

It was difficult to find a weekly blog posting today

because there is nothing going on at P&B's Garden as we wait for Spring......

Each time I watch a bulb bloom .....I am so amazed.

Tonight I got home from work when it was still light out, what a treat that was after the long dark winter months. I went out to take a walk in the garden and looked up into the tree. Our friend from yesterday invited many more to join at P&B Garden.

Today I got to capture the first sign of spring with my new camera. This robin red breast was sitting at the very top of our tree signing a lovely song and I zoomed in for this shot. Thank you again for my new camera, Paul, Brian and Jennifer, I love it.

Our Red Kramer Camellia is full of buds. Red camellias are a symbol of wealth and so they are rightly grown in P&B's Garden. Some history I found on Monrovia's website lists that camellias represent longevity and faithfulness and have long been a primary floral component in Asian weddings.

Every year I force paper whites during the Thanksgiving weekend so I have a bouquet of fragrant winter beauties blooming in time for the Christmas holiday.
