Hello everyone,
We had another big snowfall last week and
this is how our garden looked early in
the morning. The white birch tree was
bend over to the ground with the weight
of the snow.
I did say I hoped we had snow before Christmas
but maybe I should be careful what I wish for!
I do love the beauty of the garden in winter though.
This really old russet apple tree keeled
over and the roots came right out of the
ground. This tree was already old when
we bought our home 40 years...yikes can
it already be that long ago???
Our children and now grandchildren loved
to climb this tree and many pictures have been taken
with them in it. Sad to see it end up as firewood.
I quickly took these photos just before hopping
in the car to drive to Quebec city where we were
meeting friends for a short holiday. It was a beautiful
drive but thankfully it was not this snowy all the
way.
My neighbors house always looks so pretty
in the snow.
I have lots of photos to share of Old Quebec
all decked out for Christmas. It was well worth the
10 hour drive to get there!
It had rained here while we were away so
much of this snow is already gone....
do I dare wish for more?
Don't forget the Open House at Fanningbank tomorrow.

I am looking forward to it!
Thank you for popping in!

Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteSnow seems to bring them down slowly. May be better than a sudden crack in a thunderstorm?

DeleteGorgeous photos Carolyn! What a shame about the old russet apple tree but it will make great firewood. I hope the birch tree bounces back too. That snow sure was heavy! Looking forward to your post about your trip to Quebec. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteGreat snowy photos, I also hope to get some snow this winter, we have had two snowless winters after another now.
ReplyDeleteYOur neighbor's house looks wonderful in the snow! Exciting!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! That was a big snowfall. Sad about your tree. The snow does make your garden look magical!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful photos Carolyn. Your place looks so magical in the Winter time. Too bad for your old apple tree. We had snow last week and it colder now and a lot of ice around. I look forward to see you photos of Quebec.

ReplyDeleteOh fabulous pictures of the houses in snow. I just love snow
Serene and beautiful!
ReplyDeleteHi, I saw your picture of your Garden House after the first snowfall and I enjoyed that attached to the photo and was interested to see the photos of your visit to Quebec City to meet up with friends. I was born in Montreal, so anything to do with Quebec I live. Now, I’ve noticed that this is dated in 2016 and now we’re in a New Year in 3 days time and it’ll be 2023!!
ReplyDeleteI love your Garden Shed very much and I hope you are well and still writing this Blog. Take care and all the best in the new year.
