Another Frostbite Victim

Just look at those geraniums! So bright and pretty and ready to get potted. I am sorry to report that these are not the same geraniums that I successfully kept alive over the winter. They are freshly purchased. I brought last year's out to the south deck about a month ago. They were watered and trimmed back and enjoying the sunshine. Until that fateful night of 31 degrees when I neglected to move them into the garage. Well, it was an experiment. And I did enjoy their green hopefulness and fragrance while it snowed on the other side of the window. Like the lilacs, there is always next year.
