Hello everyone,
It is a beautiful sunny cold winter day here on the Island but can you believe January is over already. The sun will feel stronger soon and the days are already noticeably longer so spring will be here before we know it! I am starting to go through my garden photos with pen and paper nearby to write down little improvements that I want to make in the different areas of our garden. So, as I was going through the garden photos(and I have thousands of pics) I put together a few mosaics to share. Above are some peonies from the garden- I look forward to picking some bouquets of them again come June.
These were some of my favorite shots.
Although I enjoy winter it is a season I am never sorry to see it over so I can see the rebirth of our garden. There is such a thrill to seeing the first shoots poking through the ground, knowing color is about to burst to life.
Well, all this talk of gardening makes me want to get some little projects done in the house so I will be ready to get out in the garden when the season arrives. When I look outside our windows though, I know I will have to be patient for awhile yet.
I am joining Mary at the Little Red House for Mosaic Monday. There are lots of mosaics to enjoy there.
Thank you for visiting,
Carolyn

Oh, Carolyn, what heavenly pictures. It's amazing that it can all lie sleeping under a layer of snow and come back to life beautifully. Great pictures for a January day - hope for spring. God created our world so perfectly.
Hello from Norway. Beautiful pictures from a beautiful garden. Welcome... spring and summer!
Dear Carolyn,
Lovely photo's! Just read your comment on my blog. Your weekend sounds really good. To have lunch with your daughter and her family....when I see my girls I hope I will have that too in future.
You are still having snow. In Holland all is gone. We had low temperatures this weekend and icy wind, but I believe the weather will improve this week. I am looking forward to it, because we still have to do a lot of work in the garden.
Lieve groet, Madelief
Mi piacciono i tuoi piatti ed i tuoi bricchi dai colori delicati, e poi il tuo giardino fiorito è un incanto delizia per la vista!!!!Saluti,Rosetta.

Oh, Carolyn I have no words to tell how wonderful are your shots! Have a nice week!
Carolyn, you have the nicest collection of peonies and I never tire of looking at them. They're one plant I love too.
I won't be sorry to see winter go either - big snow storm coming in tomorrow night.

Hi Carolyn, I loved the pics of your garden. My hubby gave me an iron scrolly bike a while ago and I might just put it in the garden too as yours looks so lovely! Would have to paint it though as it's brown at the moment and it wouldn't stand out otherwise. Well here it's summer (Australia) and quite hot too! I have been enjoying the warm weather as soon it will be Autumn. You've inspired me to get out in the garden this morning before it gets too hot again! take care, Maryann
What beautiful photo's , so soft! and I love all the pinks and greens. Any of these photos could be a romantic painting! Christie
Perfect post for the last day of January- BEAUTIFUL photos!!
Dearest Carolyn,
Such beauty to see during this bitter cold and wintery Kansas day. Lovely warmer weather pics are so pleasing to see!
Glad I got to see what you have to share.

Gorgeous garden photos to comfort us during this long, cold, icy, snowy winter....thank you!~Hugs, Patti
Greetings from snowy Ohio! Your photos are just lovely, I really like the peonies!! And the green painted furniture looks so nic in the garden, last year my husband painted some furniture for my shop, it looks alot like yours!
Too, too beautiful. It took me back to warm afternoons and the scent of roses outside the dining room window.
Carolyn your garden is so beautiful. Love it, Love it.I would so enjoy a visit. But I will have to contend myself by looking at your stunning pictures. Spring will be here soon, I so hope for it. Take care, Jen.
Summer here in New Zealand. We are just starting to lose the very long days. But still flowers everywhere in my rough landscape.
Magnifiques photos qui nous emmènent en été et nous font oublier le froid mordant et la grisaille...
Carolyn, just coming here to visit you brightens my day. I will think of you and your magic all through the day.♠
Your mosaics are exquisite! What program do you use?
