Winter Wonderland

                                                          Hello everyone,
        I woke up early this morning and took a peek out our window and was surprised to see we had a few inches of fresh snow fall over night. Now, I know you are are looking for spring but the reality of life on Prince Edward Island is that in March  we can still get quite a bit of snow. Our temperatures have been right around the freezing mark for the past week so sometimes it is hard to predict whether we will will get rain or snow.

       Anyway, a fresh snow fall is an good opportunity to go for a short drive and take some photos.

        I have always loved this house that is a few kilometers from our house.

                        These are city homes that look pretty with the snow.

                                                         A backyard shed.

                                         A farm fence covered in snow.

                                      Love tree lined winter driveways covered with untrodden snow.

                              I was wishing for Christmas wreaths on these lanterns or small Christmas trees at the base but alas not this year.

                                                  A city harbour lighthouse.

                                             I like this shabby chic mailbox.

                            And back home to our own snow covered world.

                                    Our terrace covered with snow.

                               And lastly our Gardener's Cottage in winter.

             The snow is already starting to melt some and they are promising sunny mild days for most of the week so don't worry spring is still on the way!

Hope you have a good day,

Carolyn

Welcome March!

                                                                     Hello Everyone,
                                                March has come in like a lamb here and I am  happy to turn the page onto this month that brings us both of Spring and Easter. I enjoy all the seasons but always look forward to spring the most.
      However, this was the beauty we enjoyed on our morning walk on our little road yesterday.Yes,our soil is red -it is Anne's Land after all!
 
" I've always heard that Prince Edward Island was the prettiest place in the world, and I used to imagine I was living here, but I never really expected I would. It's delightful when your imaginations come true, isn't it? But those red roads are so funny. When we got into the train at Charlottetown and the red roads began to flash past I asked Mrs. Spencer what made them red and she said she didn't know and for pity's sake not to ask her any more questions. She said I must have asked her a thousand already. I suppose I had, too, but how you going to find out about things if you don't ask questions? And what does make the roads red?"

 Quote from Anne of Green Gables by L.M. Montgomery.

 The answer to Anne's question is a high level of iron oxide.

                            We had a heavy white frost yesterday making the trees look very pretty.

             We enjoyed our morning walk on our quiet country road and it was lovely to chat with my neighbor/friend who was also enjoying the fresh air and make plans to get together for tea.

                                                           

                                                               Now,let's think spring!

                                                                      and Easter

    This little spring chicken is cute enough to be real.

      So, now I am off to enjoy this mild winter day with the promise of spring in my heart!

    I am joining My Romantic Home for Show & Tell Friday.

    Hope you have a wonderful weekend!
