That's not always the case with warmer temps, at least not for me.<br />We've had just enough cold temps to wipe out most of what is green. Some things will come back; others won't. This seems to happen in Houston often enough to be annoying. Oh well, life is still good!<br />Hope all is well.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611548090771937130.post-16741710931766486672011-02-05T10:16:59.521-07:002011-02-05T10:16:59.521-07:00Barbara, I am so sorry for all your flowers.

I know this crazy weather has been especially hard on those folks who aren't used to it. We actually cheered this morning because it had reached 5 above 0!!! It's a heat wave as we continue to dig out from the 12+ inches of snow! :-) I don't know much about the plants you described so far as to whether or not they'll come back. I guess they are perennials and not likely to "come back" next year as ours do when they die off for the winter. I hope something can be salvaged! Thanks for stopping by my blog this morning, and have a warmer weekend!Alycia Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14690591304562176674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611548090771937130.post-68693451277354797052011-02-04T10:59:35.913-07:002011-02-04T10:59:35.913-07:00Thank you , Barbara for your kind comment...now I ...Thank you , Barbara for your kind comment...now I see, "a comment from an expert" !Your photography is artisic and inviting ! <br />Life is good , indeed !Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12720458372836569224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611548090771937130.post-5053933806367112112011-02-03T21:31:49.712-07:002011-02-03T21:31:49.712-07:00Cute dishes, Barbara.

We had to turn the pool heater cause we do not want the pipes to freeze and burst. Heater that heats the master bedroom part is not working so hubby and I are sleeping in the family room on the recliners....Christinexinexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13100438341646700750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8611548090771937130.post-70489997284128817672011-02-03T20:37:01.355-07:002011-02-03T20:37:01.355-07:00Hi lovely lady. the weather down in Texas is also ...Hi lovely lady. the weather down in Texas is also cold !!!

Yippeeeeee! You've been missed. I know that the cold does come as a shock to you all. Everything will probably be okay with your plants with the possible exception of the fruit trees. They may take a while to recover, I would think. Thank you for stopping by my post. Come vist any time.
