Winter garden wonders - Love!

9/6/2013

I love winter for many reasons. I love that it is cool and not hot weather! I love that I can rug up in warm scarves, gloves,
coats and woolly jumpers. I love big pots of soup. I love the fire box being lit and Tez always stacking the back veranda with cut wood. I love that Tez is neurotic about his wood shed and that the right wood has to be used in the correct cycle of dryness.

I love these gloves!

I love that Max will sit in the north garden to soak up some rays of winter sunshine.

I love that the promise of Spring is demonstrated by the daffodil spikes under the oak tree and through the garden.

I love that Tez is cleaning out the garden by harvesting the last of the autumn garden.

I love that it is almost time to do my most favourite gardening job …. PRUNING.

I love the colours of the flowers that love to bloom in winter.

I love the bareness of the trees as they reenergise for spring and summer.

I love the smell and the moist look of the soil as the fallen leaves break down as nature’s mulch.

I love that very soon all my Hellebores will be in bloom.

I love the the flow of the words and photos you choose to share with us. It sang of the inner quality of taking notice of the pleasures of life. While you delight in the season of winter I wake up to a summer morning that already says it will be a hot one.
