271. A greenhouse is a way of upgrading your hardiness zone. ~Hugh Johnson

Who loves a garden loves a greenhouse too.
For unconscious of a less propitious clime,
There blooms beauty, warm and snug,
While the winds whistle and the snows descend.
All peep through foliage at the storm,
And seem to smile at what they need not fear.
~Edited excerpt from a poem by William Cowper

Flowers…have a mysterious and subtle influence upon the feelings, not unlike some strains of music.  They relax the tenseness of the mind.   ~Henry Ward Beecher

…just as I (God) gave you the green plants, I give you everything.  ~Genesis 9:3   ✝

    • It’s one of my favorite places too, Annette. And I’m thrilled with all my bulb “babies” that are doing so well. It’s definitely warmer in there than outside. Have a great weekend, my friend. Blessings and hugs, Natalie 🙂

    • My son-in-law built mine for me a couple of years ago, and I love it more and more. It has been so much fun to have flowering things in the winter when everything else is dead. It’s like having a year round garden. Blessings, N 🙂
