The first flowers of the season are late this year due to below average cold temperatures and late snows. The yard is beautiful covered in snow. I love trees with their snow and ice covered limbs, standing tall as frozen sculptures for all to see.
Snow does not stop the birds from visiting our feeders for an afternoon snack. We still have a hummingbird that comes to our hummingbird feeder, so we’ve kept it filled all winter.
I love watching the birds and the snow.
Beautiful. I love nature.

I love daffodils. They are so bright and perky and bloom so early in the year that they bring long anticipated cheer. Sunshine has entered my garden and thy name is daffodil. 🙂 I love them everywhere and so I planted 200 … Continue reading
