ReplyDeleteNot a lot of veggies in winter, but I have chard, carrots, parsnips and fennel in the garden, and stored are pumpkins and potatoes and of course all the frozen and dried food as well. We are still pretty self sufficient. Keep warm Diane
DeleteMan, that is a lot of rain in one month. The constant grey skies must be getting to you.
ReplyDeleteWe are both sick of the rain and grey skies. The glimmer of sun the other day was a pleasure but it was short lived! Usually winter is crisp, cold but sun!! Have a good Sunday Diane.
DeleteOh so pretty. They are a welcome sight to those of us who are only seeing snow and ice.
ReplyDeleteNot a lot around Emma, but it was good to see some colour and the odd flower in the garden. Keep well Diane
DeleteWow! Spring seems to have arrived in your part of the world. Lovely plant life.
ReplyDeleteI wish it really was spring but the hardy flowers are surviving despite the heavy rains. If the forecast is right we are in for a much colder spell!! Keep well Diane
DeleteWow that's a lot of rain, Diane. Your blooms are beautiful !
ReplyDeleteThanks Jo, the garden is like a saturated sponge, thank goodness we live on high ground!!! Keep well Diane
DeleteSpring is definitely on the way Diane, let's hope we both get rid of those coughs soon 😊
ReplyDeleteIf the forecast is right we have some very cold weather coming up. Yea I hope we both get rid of those coughs they are getting to be very annoying!! Take it easy and enjoy Sunday Diane
DeleteOh I love seeing the blooms. The USA groundhog saw his shadow so that says we will have 6 more weeks of winter. With it being as cold as it has been here in TN, I look forward to spring.....not summer but spring! Beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteWe have some very cold weather forecast here coming up. The forecast is not that good usually so I really hope they are wrong now!!! Keep warm Diane
DeleteAfter so much rain, a bit of sunlight is so welcomed! Over here is the temperature is getting hotter but the rain is still around!
ReplyDeleteIt really was a bit of sunshine, it did not last long!! Fed up with winter now and it looks like it will get colder yet!! Keep warm Diane
DeleteHellebore! I love your photo! So nice.
ReplyDeleteThanks Aritha, I hope that you are all well Diane
DeleteSeeing the colors today, Diane, gives us a look into spring. I know you're looking forward as we all are.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad you're feeling better, and able to get out & about; sharing with us the beauty around you. :)
xoxo
The forecast says we are heading for a very cold spell which does not cheer me up at all. Generally though I have to say February is our coldest month. April it generally cheers up though though frost has been known to hit the garden badly in May!! Take care Diane
