Theme Day: Glass

This is a shot by my father-in-law's abandoned potting shed. He, like my mother, would use old windowpanes as the lids for their coldframes where they would start seedlings in the early spring. Every morning they would prop open the glass to give the plants fresh air and close them up again at night to save them from the freezing temperatures. They both had huge gardens and seeing their coldframes was as welcome a sight in spring as seeing the first robins. This photo was taken in Pittsburgh a few weeks ago where we celebrated my mother-in-law's 95th birthday.
