The Beauty of Winter

Hello everyone,

I am finally back after a long break.

I hope you are still here with me!

I have lots of excuses for my long

break including no excess to my

photos on our desktop but we now

have a new monitor and I am good

to go.

A couple of weeks ago we had a surprise early snow so

of course I went out to enjoy the beauty with my camera.

I love when we get an early snow before the pond freezes over

as you get some reflection in the water.

We still had leaves on the trees and shrubs.

For early in November it was pretty good

cover but it was all gone a couple of days later.

We  have been busy getting outdoor chores done

and then I moved on to Christmas decorating so

now we can enjoy the long evenings with lots

of twinkling lights etc.

How about you are you getting ready for Christmas?

Take care,

Carolyn

Bold And Beautiful!

Hello everyone,

I hope your spring is going well.

I am happy to have all of our garden

beds weeded and edged.Everything

is coming along good and I am enjoying

the beauty of early spring flowers.

I love these bold and beautiful tulips

although this wouldn't be my first choice

of colors except  in spring when I have

been looking forward to color in the garden

again after a long winter.

We have hundreds of daffodils blooming

now but some are starting to fade already.

Luckily, tulips are putting on a show now.

                                     There are so many beautiful varieties of

                                      daffodils and narcissus.

I hope you enjoyed your visit and

I hope to be back again soon....

hope you will too!

Take care,

Carolyn
