Thanks Cat ... If I could have only 1 plant, it would be the fern. I am surrounded by many varieties both here and at the lake. The stone is from a flower vender at the Farmer's Market ~ a favorite haunt.

Hi Jodi ... We had a winter weather advisory last night also. Spring is certainly a tease! Thank goodness for my huge stock of 'green' memories to chase away the 'winter blues'.
