Good Morning!
Oh how happy I am this morning that it was *not* this cold yesterday morning when we spent the night snoozing in the truck! Yes, the promise of a warmer and sunny day is on the horizon, but….
When the Scottie-boys and I went outside this morning, the leaves underfoot had a definite “crunch” to them! The temperature was just a tad above 20, and everything was coated in a clear glaze.
Even the plant I was unsure about! My friend, Shaye, identified this plant as “mullein”, which I am sure it is. It grows this little compact plant the first year, then next year, it will shoot out from the center and grow to a tall plant, producing yellow clusters of flowers. We had several of those plants on the side of the garage this year, so I am quite sure that correctly identifies this plant. Thanks, Shaye!
Although the frost is quite heavy this morning, the sun is shining so brightly and the sky is so blue, it is going to be a beautiful day here. As the weather warms some this coming week, we will be scurrying about the woods like squirrels, gathering the balance of our firewood for the cold ahead. In all honesty, we are fortunate, no….*blessed*, that the weather has remained so warm and kind thus far this year!

Haven’t hit the ice weather yet, but we’re getting close. Like the photographs.
In Canada we call that plant Lamb’s Ears
Except for my friend Bob who called them Scottie Ears.
Hmmm, I think they look more like Dachshund ears, LOL! I miss that crunchy sound under your feet with a hard frost. It just isn’t the same in the city!
Karen, that is too funny…they *are* a bit pointed….Scottie Ears…hehehehe
Carly, they definitely are too pointed for Dachsies!!!!!
