The Christmas decorations have gone, and the last of the glitter has been vacuumed up. Even the WordPress snow has gone.
There is a saying here that if winter hasn’t arrived by Epiphany, then it won’t come at all… well, the snowdrop shoots are visible already…
Still grey, and green, and foggy. A little monotonous… so just to remind me that this garden can look so beautiful in the sunshine, a bonus photo from July 2012!
Have a good week everyone!


Oh I hope you do get more snow…you know I will keep sharing mine!
Thanks Donna! I took a look at your pictures again today… sigh!
Wow, no snow again this week! But you have green grass, and I would love to have some of that around here…along with snowdrop shoots…!
Maybe the sprinkling of snow we had in December was all we’re getting this winter!
Thank you for the “Bonus”
. It´s grey + foggy in northern Germany too.
Yes, we need some sunshine!
I hadn’t heard the saying about Epiphany and winter weather before – don’t much like the cold, but a winter without some snow would be strange. Still, there’s time yet…
You’re right, there’s still time – we’ve had a surprise winter in March before now!
It must really be temperate there. I’m still smarting from hearing from my sister that it was 10 C in Victoria, B.C. 2 days ago (I’m in snow, here north of Toronto).
Unusually temperate… around 5°C in the day time and barely frosts at night… I heard today that the Greek island of Crete got snow! Weird!
That really is weird. They are forecasting 10C for here this weekend and I find that pretty weird, too!
It is nice to have that reminder of what sunny weather can bring!
When I look at the summer photos I can hardly believe it’s the same garden!
Cathy, your beautiful July photo is brightening this grey and rainy day. Thank you!
I think we need some reminders of summer on days like today!
I’ve heard that saying Cathy. An extremely mild start to the year here but change is afoot.
Our weather forecaster has just said winter’s coming… via Britain! We’ll see….
I’ll have lots of FOG photos lol we have over 2′ foot of snow with temps going into the 50′s and 60′s F can you stand it! Eunice is a Very Happy Lady!
Thanks hoping you will get some very pretty days
You’ve had a nice variety of weather for your Tuesday View photos! Looking forward to seeing the change once spring kicks in.
I’m finding it an interesting exercise, comparing each week…
I still believe winter is coming and that you´ll have some tuesday photos with snow!
Hope so!
I so understand the need for snow…the frigid weather I can do without!
Maybe next week…
The property still is lovely, but the bonus picture kicks things up a notch. Nice. I have some guests coming tomorrow to see my garden but I warned them to bring their imaginations.
Well, your garden has a lot more to offer than mine at this time of year, so I’m sure they’ll enjoy the visit!
Methinks we all need some ‘in-between time’ sometimes to do other things and think other thoughts. And then we look outside and change has been happening
!
It looks the same as last week to me!
Beautiful; scene as usual.
It is a lovely view, yes.
Thanks for the bit of summer…
You’re welcome!
What a wonderful reminder of summer with all that colour and brightness, ah that feels better!
By the time you’re back from your holidays, spring may well be on its way!
We still have some snow hanging around in the shadowy places, but nothing new…and the daffodils have sprouted.
It’s still a lovely view – snow, or no!
Wow, daffodil shoots already! Yes, it is a lovely view, but foggy AGAIN!
Beautiful pictures – I love gardens and cannot wait until spring!
