Tonight I'm feeling sad.
Apparently we've lost the vast majority of our rosebushes this winter.
Apparently it has been a common experience amongst the residents of our city - most everyone has lost roses and other plants.
Apparently we didn't have the right kind of cold to harden the plants and send them into hibernation for the winter - went straight from mild to really, really cold and that's what killed them.
Apparently Mother Nature likes to play murderess on occasion.
Apparently I'll be replacing most of my rosebushes - even the ones that were gifts are nothing but black canes with nary a sign of the spring growth that is apparent by this time of the year.
(Apparently, though, the peonies survived as well as 5 of the 6 bleeding hearts - at least so far.)
Apparently I don't have any sort of green thumb, more like a purple claw.
