Spring...where are you?

Frozen in the desert
Winter has come to Tucson and brought with it several nights of hard freezes. Walking through my yard breaks my heart- so many plants have frost damage. I've got lots of clean-up to do once it warms up a bit. However much as I dislike Winter there is no denying the beauty of the snow covered peaks that rise up North of the city. I just wish the cold would stay up there too!

I hear 'ya! We are having frosts down here,near Palm springs, too. We are keeping our dogs in at night...the garage is too cold for them!
I'm with you...snow looks good some where else...Happy New Year..
It's hard for me to imagine frost in a desert!
I hope 2011 is a great year for you and that the spring comes soon!
I hate snow! except on the mountains where it belongs. This hard frost is killing me. Yesterday I did a tour of the damage...and there is damage....I can protect 1 night, but 3 nights!! I think tonight I'll be able to take off the blankets and pull out the pots of kumquats and citrus. I covered ALL of the citrus...so far everything looks fine, but several of my cactus broke in half!!! But let's end on a positive note:) The fruit trees are getting their chill hours:)
Yes it is beautiful but I understand your concern. I hope that everything recovers nicely and you won't be cleaning up extensively!
