However, when I read stories like this, I feel myself back in snow country. May the weather and the plants heal quickly.JJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14692103477055483000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-14829603349463182412015-05-13T13:11:13.192-04:002015-05-13T13:11:13.192-04:00I lost a number of plants to this winter and the i...I lost a number of plants to this winter and the ivy under one of my trees was heavily damaged.

For every winter we get spring. We get summer. And then things start to turn and we get fall. When the winters are really long, really hard, really bleak... it may seem like that's all there is. Thankfully, nature reminds us that the seasons, like life, always turn.Robinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14932408372240147454noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1907885067602758337.post-23180957225868650632015-05-12T11:27:52.295-04:002015-05-12T11:27:52.295-04:00deer are so destructive, but they were hungry, I g...deer are so destructive, but they were hungry, I guess. Glad you are going for the positive sunny attitude. Be as busy as a bee and replenish, enjoy the patio, and take time out for lemonade.

I'm just beginning my gardening so I won't be able to really take pleasure in what blooms until next spring. <br /><br />I'm sorry the deer chewed up your plants.

The only survivors were two catfish and a frog.<br /><br />The fish have wintered over longer harder winters than we had in SE Pennsylvania this year. We don't know what happened, but we can only assume something went wildly wrong with the water chemistry. <br /><br />I am so sad every time I walk outside and see that empty pond. :( Dianne K.
