I love this bush!  In the middle of January it starts to bloom every year.  It adds that little bit of life in the middle of bleakness.

The flowers are delicate and dainty and as the weeks go by they will cover the entire bush and then give way to small green leaves for the rest of the spring, summer and fall.

It was in the 60′s here yesterday with a forecast of 100% rain today and heading down into the 20′s tonight.

We’ll see how these beautiful yellow flowers fair during old man winter’s blast.

 Remember the project where I used toliet paper cores to make a mini-album (What Does TP Rolls & Pictures Have In Common????? it was posted on 8/3/2009.  I tried to set-up a link where you could just click but for some reason my system will not let me do it right now.  You can go back through the old post and look at it.   I have a new project for using these TP cores and I will be showing you the “How To” tomorrow so be sure and check back to see this cute project.
