When my damaged arm gives out from the activities of the day, I continue to amuse myself by looking through photos of the gardens from the past three years. This part of Wisconsin is a winter wonderland right now with tiny icicles hanging from snow laden conifer branches and pure white deep snow all around. I've come up with a little system to keep myself from posting photos previously shared unless I feel a need... with that in mind, and with no particular theme other than the joys that come from gardening, here are a few new photos from Oak Lawn... take care, Larry
