planning ahead might lead to disaster

or might not.
I purchased 2 lovely lush Boston Ferns this week.
The price was fantastic.
Yes I get to keep them going inside for awhile with
outside recesses for them as spring warms up our yard.
But..hey...I had one fern for..... 6-8 years. I can do this.

yes'm!!!!!!
maybe.

These glorious ferns enhanced our front porch yesterday.
I knew it was going to dip below freezing last night. 
No problem..I'll bring them in.

Guess who woke up this morning and remembered something?
Yup, me. 
Ferns, outside, freezing temps. 
hmmm...
I can see some signs of freezing on some of the fronds.
drat.
but hey....I still have 2 months to get them in shape right?

Besides...maybe I forgot about them because of a new caterer I learned about last evening. : )
He will let me know today if our event fits his agenda.
