Winter blues

It has been dreary and cold lately, today it's been rainy. I can hear it pouring outside right now. I don't think the sun has shown for the last two weeks if not longer. So much for sunny California.

The freeze we had here a few weeks ago really did a number on my plants. Sunday I cut back all of the roses (finally), trimmed back all the dead foliage and my poor lemon tree - all the lemons left on it have rotted from the freeze. Now the yard isn't so sad and dead looking, just sad...

...except for one little corner.
