Your photo of the white with the red berries reminded me that I forgot to go down the block this afternoon to see if the cardinal I saw on a branch of something with red berries was still there after bringing our sleeping grandson in from the car. It would have made an awesome photo.Corner Gardener Suehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10631500918579405664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9125698507772106631.post-9655856477141320452010-12-17T05:57:46.479-06:002010-12-17T05:57:46.479-06:00Hi Rose,

Stay warm!<br /><br />Donna, Thank you for these sweet comments. A friend of mine recently remarked that I talk about Sophie as if she's my 5th child:) She has been a special companion since I became an empty nester.

Maybe one day I'll get to see Sissinghurst--it's not too far from you, is it? Sophie and Nella would have a ball in the snow!<br /><br />Sherlock Gardener, Thank you! The best part is I didn't have to do any of the work:)<br /><br />W2W, I'm already tired of this cold--in the teens or below this week. Sunny Florida or Arizona sounds pretty good to me right now.
