Thankful Thursday In the Garden With Annabelle

Thankful Thursday In The Garden

Even though it's wintertime here our roses bloom year around. There is nothing prettier than a hedge of roses.

Well maybe there is something prettier? What do you think?

Yeah, me too, I think Annabelle is quite pretty as well!

We hope your garden is filled with beauty whether snow covered or green covered!

Thankful Thursday In the Garden

Annabelle joins the family in checking out the wonders of the outdoors as she piers out her window.

This gives a little perspective on what window she is looking out of.

Beautiful camellias in serious bloom!

We know our Florida garden is different than many others in different growing zones and we are very fortunate, and gratefully so, for our mild winter weather. We mostly keep green all year long, and we still have a variety of things that bloom all year thorough like our knockout roses which Mom complains about trimming all the time. (It had grown up to about 6 foot tall. I had some serious trimming to do) But the upside is our landscape stays fairly intact all year. We do get minor freezes that usually only last a night or two. So in the winter we are lucky and in the summertime we must watch for Hurricanes. We all have weather that we must be on guard for. But we hope this January you are still thankful for your Garden whether it's snow covered or grass covered.
