one giant snowball (made from flowers)

and a few photos from this morning before and after my jog/walk

the first California poppy of the new year . . . very early or very late.

morning sunstar thru the still blooming red flowers. Christine planted them next to my petunias when she was checking my mail and checking up on my apartment when i was in Japan last Sept/Oct.

the last petunia just as the sun was rising. i planted these petunias back in May (2010)
