Hello everyone,
I love the beauty of winter-well until March anyway when I am more then ready to welcome spring !
No,it was not me that made that snowman peeking over the roof!
We enjoyed skating on our pond but now we need some rain and then a freeze with no wind before I can enjoy my skates again.
Some of these photos are last winters and some are from a few weeks ago.Right now,we only have a little snow but it was cold today-bleak even, last night anyway as the cold wind howled around our home.I hope you are enjoying these 'bleak' midwinter days.
I have been featured on a lovely blog from Norway today- Fru-R. I am honored and hope you will have time to pop in and say hello. It is always fun to see what pictures someone else would choose.
I am joining My Romantic Home for Show and Tell.
Take care and stay warm and cozy!
Carolyn
Beautiful winter wonderland!
ReplyDeleteI so love your little cottage out back with all its snowy loveliness.
Everything is so pretty. Sigh.
It's a different winter this year isn't it? Oh well. Are you getting snow tomorrow? I hear next Tues. and Wed. we're getting a bit of a storm. We'll see.... Have a great weekend. I hope you can get out on the pond again soon.
ReplyDeleteYour snowy photos are beautiful, Carolyn! I can enjoy the beauty of days like these when I am home safe and sound {and my family is, too}. We had a cold day here today and some flurries floating around. It's been off and on this afternoon; we may get an inch overnight. I'm in no hurry for Spring. I like the "down time" of these months until March.
ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn,
ReplyDeleteWe don't have snow here on the ocean :( However,your photos are lovely and that little cottage just looks dreamy with all that fluffy white stuff falling from the sky :) :) Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather :)
We're in the bleak midwinter, too, Carolyn! Getting lots of snow this week. I can't get over how amazingly beautiful your property looks in every season of the year! ♥ So peaceful! :)

Lovely views and lovely photos! Bess
ReplyDeletesuch beautiful views!
ReplyDeleteYour photo's look magical Carolyn. Wish we would get some snow too. It's been grey skies and rain here in Holland for the last two days. Skating on the pond sounds very romantic. I hope you will have some good ice soon!
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,

Very beautiful photos! Fantastic winter!
ReplyDeleteThis pictures are breathtaking and make me wish that I liked winter:o)

What beautiful pictures. A stark beauty. The photo of the snow covered branches looking down the snow covered road reminds me of a scene from Dr. Zhivago.
ReplyDeleteI hope you will be ice skating again soon.
One Word......this is my Dream.....beautiful....greetings Marjon
ReplyDeleteIt looks lovely but I sure don't want to sit in those chairs, lol. Lovely pictures as always. Just love your garden, both winter and summertime.
ReplyDeleteHere we get snow now too. Not something I'm looking forward too.
Have a nice Saturday.
Love Elzie
THat is really winter wonder land. We have no snow nor ice here yet, maybe it will still come.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful winter photos Carolyn! I hope the pond will freeze again so you can enjoy the skating once more.
ReplyDeleteHappy weekend,
Sanna
your cottage is enchanting all wintery.
ReplyDeleteBut I am not a fan of snow and hope it disappears soon. Yet it can look magical.
I love the skates. Can't wait to see your garden in spring.
Have a nice weekend,
Evi
This is pure magic, Carolyn! So pretty! The snowman on the roof is very, very funny. Do you know that comic strip, 'Calvin and Hobbes'? Calvin's snowmen are a bit macabre but soooooooooo funny! heh, heheheheh. I just laugh every time I think of them.
ReplyDeleteOur winter is going the same. I don't know if we have a foot of snow on the ground and that came late - we had bare ground, last week. Then, we've had oddly warm days but, also, a good dose of seasonally and frighteningly, frigid weather. It's so beautifully wintry, today, though. A constant snow globe of small flakes have been fluttering by my window, all day. =]
Happy winter to you!
Love,
Katy Noelle xo
Oh Carolyn! You have such a beautiful winter wonderland. Your photos are always so beautiful. Thank you for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHugs~Clara
The snow is beautiful, so peaceful.
ReplyDeleteYour photographs are absolutely beautiful! The snow, though cold, is so lovely. I hope you stay warm, curled up next to a crackling fire with some hot tea and a good book:)
ReplyDeleteBlessings,

I miss winter and snow. In South Carolina we rarely have snow. I never thought I would miss the changing seasons, but I do.
ReplyDeleteGood morning Carolyn:)
ReplyDeleteYou have the most beautiful pictures as usual. Here in Stavanger, Norway isn't much snow, it's usual raining away.
I made the blog post today about your blog:)

ReplyDeleteHi Carolyn
ReplyDeleteI don't think winter could look more lovey then at your place! It is the winter wonderland of dreams! I love that pic of the heavy with snow garland on your little guest cottage... sigh!
Sadly my pretty snow turned to an ice storm, still lovely but not so fun :(
Stay Warm!
