Standing Tall in Winter

I hope your coffee is hot and your book is a good one! As I look out my window on this snowy weekend, what plants do I see? I can always count on those tall grasses. Not only do they stand tall, but those seeds help all kinds of wildlife. They also will block the many man made objects that get in the way of our views. I raise my mug high to the tall grasses! Here is a good one.
