Ugh. I loathe when it is grey, grey, grey… and add to it cold! Our blue skies are on day…4? 5? Not unhappy about it.

I’m thinking this is a case for other regions as well 😉
It is snowing now (again) and I have a chat scheduled with a friend at 10:30. If I get dressed now, I can get my steps in before! Or… I can have another cup of coffee and go later… The nest few minutes will tell 😉

I’m about to go to Breydon. My room temperature is again up to normal. I’m not shivering, I’m not aching with cold. I need to walk.
Stay warm, my friend, stay safe

I just came in from shovelling a good 4-5 inches of the white stuff. Won’t be seeing any new growth for a while!

It amazed me every year. People seem to think winter falls with the solstice. It does not. The worst of the winter almost always falls in February and March.

Oh definitely not! Just like spring doesn’t really make its appearance here until at least April..

We sometimes get a promising peep of it as early as February. But it’s just a promise, not the full show. No, April it is, at the earliest

Yes, you guys get it so much earlier. Of course, you don’t have mounds of snow to deal with!

Dale, thank you for the birthday wishes, which Crispina conveyed to me (below). A walk by the river, a classic movie (Ninotchka), a jambalaya for dinner, and chocolate-covered marzipan for dessert made it a good day with my partner EJ.

How lovely! I too am up to the teeth with snow shots and these are brightening to the spirit. Curious, the first ones remind me of blackberry blossoms and the last ones, are those a type of dutch iris? Beautiful not matter what they are. 🙂

Considering I’m behind, this is very well-timed, as we just finished 1.5 days of snow, and I was just out shoveling. Thanks for the photos!
(You know I’m always thankful; I just rarely have anything worthwhile to say about them.)

And Dale says Happy Birthday!
