I
did mention something about snow on my previous post but I certainly didn’t wish for the sleet and
slush that have been troubling us since the weekend. There is no point having a
snow cover if it is as wet as rain and comes with a thick cloud cover meaning more days without any sunshine.
Hubby
took these photos a couple of days ago when he walked to the mailbox at around
9 am. I’m afraid we haven’t had it much brighter than this in days, perhaps
weeks.
The white icing was so heavy on the trees and shrubs I had to carry out some lilac rescue as I noticed we had already lost a couple of trunks. Plus the top of a birch. Soon all this will be gone and we’ll be back to the even more depressing grey darkness sprinkled with rainfall. How could anyone survive our kind of winter without the festive season?
Your husbands pictures are beautiful! I hope that things brighten up a bit for you and that no more of your plants get damaged. xx
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy. It seems our winters are tougher to take these days than they used to be partly because in recent years we haven't had proper winter with frosty weather until in January but also because we are getting old.
DeleteGorgeous photos!
ReplyDeleteHubby will be so pleased to hear this. He took them using his mobile. All I did was some cropping.
DeleteThe trees look so beautiful. It is always nice to look at but not so good if you have errand to run! Sarah x
ReplyDeleteIf we only had some proper daylight I'd agree... By the way, most of the snow is gone by now. Let's hope it will get a bit colder soon.
