A Southern Life

A Southern Winter Garden



I’m ready for Spring. At least in my mind. I used to really dislike Winter but I have learned to enjoy the shape of bare trees and the birds that visit my bird feeders. I also enjoy browsing through garden catalogs and planning what I would like to plant. I love to plant roses, perennials and herbs. I also love to plant a small vegetable garden. There is nothing like harvesting the first home grown tomato of the season. Just thinking about it warms me up.

Gardening has helped me enjoy all of the seasons. It has helped me accept the cycles of life. I know that even though it is cold today, that trees and plants and seeds are preparing for sprouting new leaves and blooms. Soon the daffodils and crocus will pop up and before we know it, everything will be green and lush. In the meantime, enjoy the shape of the branches in a beautiful tree. Feed the birds and enjoy their entertaining antics at your bird feeders. To everything there is a season . . .

Enjoy these pictures of birds in my yard.

    Can I simply say what a relief to uncover a person that actually understands what they’re discussing on the web. You certainly know how to bring a problem to light and make it important. More and more people should check this out and understand this side of your story. It’s surprising you are not more popular because you most certainly have the gift.

    Currently it appears like BlogEngine is the best blogging platform out there right now. (from what I’ve read) Is that what you are using on your blog?

    I’ve never been a fan of winter either, but the line about enjoying “the shape of bare trees” really hit me this year. I started noticing how different each branch looks against the gray sky, and it’s oddly calming. For vegetable planning, I actually found a useful tracker on fusionapi fusionapi that helped me map out my spring seeds early. That first tomato comment got me too—nothing beats it.

    Hey I know this is off topic but I was wondering if you knew of any widgets I could add to my blog that automatically tweet my newest twitter updates. I’ve been looking for a plug-in like this for quite some time and was hoping maybe you would have some experience with something like this. Please let me know if you run into anything. I truly enjoy reading your blog and I look forward to your new updates.
