Winter

Something for those going through the winter blahs

This is the time of year when I begin to long for summer. I guess I have the winter blahs (having a cold to go with it doesn’t help!).

I can’t complain too much about this winter. It’s been rather spring like for the most part with only a few extremely cold days so far this year. For the most part we’ve had above average temperatures here in Toronto with rain rather than snow.

With some luck this weather will keep up and we’ll ease into spring and it won’t be all that long before I start seeing beautiful flowers like this Climbing Westerland rose growing in my garden again.

Do you have the winter blahs too?

Rose branches and snow

I took this photo of my rose, Therese Bugnet, when it’s red branches were lightly dusted with snow and ice. I like the how the snow appears to have turned into crystals in the branch crevices.

Is your garden or some of it’s plants covered in snow? We had a Green Christmas here, but we just got some snow, so while I can’t complain that we’re buried in snow I can say that are garden looks quite a bit different than it did a few days ago.

Old Canister

I use this old canister as a garden ornament. I forgot to bring it inside this past fall and now it’s just covered in snow!

I sure hope that it doesn’t rust!

The clothes line

It’s been quite snowy here in Toronto this winter. My backyard is just a blank white palette, especially with the snow that’s currently falling. Yes it’s snowing yet again!

This is our snow covered clothes line. I thought it was an interesting enough shot.
