the miserable gardener 
This is Slipper. Late buddy of Chess, doing his Sad Puppy pose.
Veeewy cyute! They sure know how to get their talons into our hearts.
Yeah. Poor Slipper. I found this looking through the disks, and he seemed so pathetic and sad.
I do have snowdrops showing color, and the weather has been gorgeous, and I’m sowing cactus seed, so it’s semi-spring.
Nope. Just freezing rain to crust over the snow layer.
It’s pretty nice on this side of the Rockies; I hear it’s been abnormally cold on the west side. The weather here is pretty typical for January, though a lot of people are moaning about the lack of snow. I seriously hope they mean in the mountains.
According to NOAA, the high for Fairbanks, Alaska, will be 15 below tomorrow. Is that what they call “cold comfort”?
I have one single snowdrop blooming. Gave it a special watering yesterday. Actually I think I should throw some water on everything, since there is no snow cover.
Really, the only plants that benefit from water at this time of year are those in active growth; ie flowering or developing buds. Most plants are still dormant and have no means of absorbing water.
This is a perfectly normal January for Denver, despite the alarmist stuff on TV. I always used to take a vacation in January because the weather was so nice.
