I hear you are receiving more snow. Poor thing. Hang in there. It won't be as long as it has been. Pretty picture.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure whether I was happy or sad about more snow. It IS January, and our 40F-50F temps weren't normal. But, overall, more snow and cold are ... blech. Still, it is pretty. See, I can't make up my mind. ;-)
DeleteA bit of both, say I.
ReplyDeleteYes, agreed, Ricki.
DeleteWe didn't leave the house! Luckily no appointments and a full fridge which made it a pleasant day.
ReplyDeleteSame here. But that makes two days in a row. Now I MUST go out tomorrow! Severe cabin fever sets in if I don't get out for a few days. I need people and activity! Time for a winter walk? We'll see if I have the courage. ;-)
DeleteDelightful!
ReplyDeleteI know you're a winter fan, Donna. I truly have a love/hate relationship with it. The cold part is yucky. The white part is kinda nice. I like a little winter, but then I grow tired of it. Making peace for now. ;-)
DeleteMore gray, less snow here... Michelle
ReplyDeleteHi Michelle: All our snow melted, and then we got more today. It looks pretty, but ...
DeleteA beautiful and appropriate January scene. I'm sure it's frustrating to be stuck inside though.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Late January and all of February are always a bit of a challenge. But I guess the days are getting longer.
DeleteI hate it, but I love your picture. That's the best place for snow - on a picture.
ReplyDeleteHa! I agree. If it wasn't so cold...
DeleteWinter is not my season, but I admit, with views of the snow sometimes delight. Regards.
ReplyDeleteYes, same with me. I like a little, but there's too much. It's pretty, but it's too cold for too long.
DeleteYour picture sure makes winter look delightful. I love snow but miss more active gardening.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Peter. I miss gardening, too. And winter is simply too long.
DeleteHi Beth, for me winter is with no doubt frightful! I simply physically have such a hard time dealing with the cold.
ReplyDeleteLooking at winter photos like yours is delightful though ;-)!
Warm regards,
Christina
Hi Christina: The cold is mysterious thing. I dislike it, as well. But a funny thing happens after we've had subzero weather (below 0F) for a stretch. When the temps bounce back above 32F, it feels like spring. Unfortunately, we don't have that kind of mild weather in the near forecast. :(
DeleteDelightful... but in small, short doses!
ReplyDeleteThat's an interesting thought, Indie! I think I prefer it to be consistently cold for a shorter time, and then to slowly but steadily move to spring. Of course, that never happens! It's a roller-coaster ride around here!
DeleteI think it's delightful...for a while. But I sure wish we'd get some snow!
ReplyDeleteThe snow does make for a fresher canvas, that's true. Days on end with gray and brown can be demoralizing. But the trade-off is often an earlier spring, which is always nice!
DeleteDecember was on the frightful side - too much shoveling! Snowless January is just sort of weird.
ReplyDeleteIt's interesting that you haven't had much snow. We have a nice, light coating of about 1-2 inches covering the plants. It looks like it won't melt anytime soon. I guess that's pleasant to look at, but too cold.
DeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteI love snow. Snow ='s Delightful
Ice ='s Frightful I hate ice! We ended up with an ice storm last week. My friend had to crawl out to let her dog out. My son Sam fell on our driveway. I fell on a walk.
We are attending the Eau Claire Garden Seminar Saturday. I am excited. :-) The main speaker will be Tim Johnson of Seed Saver's!!
Yes! Ice is the worst, absolutely! Snow is lovely and delightful. However, I simply abhor the cold. Fortunately, it hasn't been too bad this winter. But it's always too long. I hope you had fun at the seminar!
DeleteDelightful! I much prefer our short, inconsistent winter to our hot, humid summer! A common topic of conversation regarding winter is, "Do you think we will get snow this year?" If we get snow, it is usually a treat.
ReplyDeleteThat would be nice. Actually, my "ideal" winter would be snow in December and early January, and then a slow, steady move to spring ... by the end of February. Unfortunately, winter has a way of being erratic. And then it plays ping-pong with spring in March.
DeleteI am a winter . . .
ReplyDeleteSo for me it has been "frightful."
I am still hoping for some
DELIGHTFUL . . .
a foot or two would help!
Ah, you're a snow-lover! I must admit having a white landscape is pretty. The browns and grays get tiring. If only winter didn't last so long...
DeleteAs much of a pain as snow can be, I'd much rather have that than freezing rain. :-\
ReplyDeleteMe, too, Heather! Ice is awful!
