Warm January

ice cave 2

Last January, Toronto, Ashbridges Bay area, The Beach.

This was an snow and ice cave that the waves crashing onto the beach helped form.

See the snow? yeah, we actually had snow last year in January.

This year, there’s only been a scant amount that’s melted almost as soon as it’s fallen. What a difference! BTW this photo goes with the one I have on Tricia’s Musings today, that post has more info about our unseasonably warm winter- so far.

Purple Hyacinth

This weeks a little cooler. Actually it’s going to be cooler than it was even in December.

However it’s still no where near as cool as it normally is in January. That’s why I’m also posting a photo of a lovely purple Hyacinth for you today. I’m beginning to think that my spring flowers will come up in late February or March rather than April and May when they usually arrive.

Rose Bud

Just Joey, Hybrid Tea Rose – bud

I received a number of fantastic comments on this photo today. Thank you very much. It’s a beautiful rose, with a light fragrance. As you can see from the photo above it’s lovely even when it’s just a bud about to open and I can tell you that Just Joey is even more beautiful when it’s fully open. It’s a large flower with 25 to 30 petals I believe. The only unfortunately thing about this rose is that the blooms don’t last long – perhaps three days in warm weather, and 5 in cool weather. Some of the other roses that I grow are much longer lasting.

Like Spring

Daffodil White

Considering that it’s January the weather here’s been very nice. It’s been above zero, often well above freezing and so far we really haven’t had any snow. Dare I say, it’s almost spring like? Yes – the temperatures have been more like the end of March, beginning of April. I’d love it if it would stay this way until April and then warm even more. A winterless winter.
