from sunshine to snow flurries

What a difference a couple of days can make. Sunday we had a high of 82 and today we didn't even reach 41. I have to cover my tender lilies tonight with a sheet or blanket lest I want the frost to get them. It's kind of funny that I have been able to have real plants that have not only bloomed but flourished the last two summers. Up until two years ago I was basically the grim reaper of plants. No matter how much I loved and nurtured them they shriveled up, turned black, and bit the dust on me. Two years ago my sister gave me some lilies to have a go at and they, unbelievably,  survived me. I also received a fuschia plant last year for mother's day which kept blooming until the seasons end. Now that I can grow plants I would love to give a small herb garden a try. I also want to learn how to can vegetables but I will be purchasing the veggies from my local farmer's market since I did not have the time to put my own garden out this year. Oh well, anyway.....I hope you all have a great day!
