Outside and Inside.......




I remember seeing photos in National Geographic of people's houses in Siberia in their worse times of  winter.  The different photos showed them growing plants in their window while the build up of frost is covering the window.  It is just like being in Siberia here only it is in Iowa. The file photo is not taken in winter but the plant is still looking like this even though it is cold outside.

The first photo with your blue gate is spectacular. John and I have been following your weather on tv. I envy you the ability to have plants blooming in the window! Very pretty.

Love your blue gate with the snow and your plant looks so pretty sitting on your window sill.

Green plants in winter are a little bit of defiance against the weather outside.

That blue gate is an eye catcher..your plant..an Oxalis perhaps? Is doing quite well..I think you have a green winter thumb:)
