Must. Not. Obsess. Over. Early. Results.
Fortunately, I have a relaxing hobby.
Pix from frosty morning last weekend…
Asian pear. Compare with frost-edged two weeks ago.
Birdsnest spruce.
Verbascum. Rosettes of foliage are a plus for biennials in fall.
Potted violas. These have been flowering continously since early spring.
Grass seedheads look frosty even after the day warms.
I am looking at blogs, trying not to obsess about early results as well. I really like the ornamental grass shot.
I think that is when I’m most relaxed. When wandering the gardens with camera in hand. The worries just seem to melt away as I ponder textures and leaf etchings and blooms.

Everything looks other worldly all covered with frost. No obsessing now. You will know the results soon enough.
Thank heaven those early returns were no fluke. Last Dec. I sat in a room and listened to the Rev. Jesse Jackson talk about what it would mean to the world if we could elect a black man as president. I saw Jesse on TV last night through my tears: Yes we did.
Now, we can get back to the garden …
The Asian pear grows darker and sad. But not us! Woohoo! Thanks for the pretty distractions. Enjoyed looking at them around 9 last night when I was showing husband your post of Palin punked.
I”m still tearing up intermittendly and sobbing occasionally. You?
