Surrendering to the brrrrrr of this season…

I have taken time to put my nose to inhaling the scents of wood smoke and the frost of the cold air…

listening to the sounds of silence after a winter storm…

a storm that came in the wee hours…awakening my small town with it’s blustery wind, thunder and lightning.

You helped me experience the sense of the season with all its elements.
Thank you!
Good morning and Happy almost February! I can’t even believe I am seeing real flowers just yet!!! Here is Pa. we can’t have them till at least April or maybe May. Different climates for sure! I will just enjoy looking at all of your bright colors, so enjoy!!!!
Hi Donna, oh my I don’t think I could go that long without seeing real flowers. I’m so grateful for primroses and pansies…they are lifesavers for me since I love puttering in the garden. Stay warm!
Happy February to you too. Love the photos
Thank you Barbara!
The snowdrops & violets ( you must get some!) are blooming here in the valley now and I saw a few crocus’s blooming in town. Lovely signs of Spring!
