Today I'm closing out my review of the 2010 gardening season here at Oak Lawn Cheese Factory. These are all photos that I haven't posted in the past although you may recognize the subject matter... Larry
p.s. we're expecting the coldest night of the winter thus far with temps at least -12 degrees fahrenheit... think I'll stay in this evening!

Beautiful flowers to choose from, as natures decoration and means to propagate pollination. This also reminds me of the looming valentines day celebration.
Your garden looks like paddies. Everything about it is simply stunning and delightful. Hope both you and your snow-covered garden survive the night well.
Truly beautiful! I really like the arbor view photo and the clematis and delphiniums.
I am so inspired by these photos and hope we have a wonderful spring. As of now we have had no snow cover so I am concerned about many of the plants. Also, we are down about eight inches of water this year which does not bode well for our trees, shrubs, plants, etc.

Hi Larry, your retrospect archive photos will keep you warm everyday and whole night, they are all extra ordinary! Your minus degrees seem to be even better than my friends in Canada who gets mostly less than 30C and even gets -40C sometimes. The sad part of that is they grew here in the tropics!
Sooo much to look forward to. So many delights to enjoy. Thanks.
Beautiful pictures. Thank you for sharing with the Clever Chicks Blog Hop this week; I hope you’ll join us again!
Cheers,
