winter
heather in the snow
hummer keeping warm
keeping the feeders thawed out is a challenge
wooly blanket finished – so I can keep warm, too
spinning by candlelight – when the electricity went off
but Spring will come
Susan brought me dried indigo blossoms for seed

So amazingly lucky to have heather growing near you. One of my favorites. This was like a photo verse of the “My Favorite Things” song.

Kerry – these are Rufus humming birds, they make a high click, click sound – I take for scolding – this one natters at me all the time but I can walk within a few inches of him and he doesn’t fly away.

All your pictures have the same teal/lavender palette (except for the fireplace). Now that can’t be an accident, can it? Lovely.

Alice – it is interesting how we unconsciously gavitate to the same colours and combinations. sometimes I get thoroughly bored with myself!

Seeing snow on the coast oddly makes me feel better about our current weather and calms the “grass is always greener” thoughts I have.
I like how the picture of the heather and the snow is similar in tone to your beautiful blanket.

Deb – in Victoria the snow only lasted 1 day and Vancouver didn’t get any BUT it is breaking temp.records. Vic. 2 nights ago was -20 with the wind chill factored in – go figure!!

Wow I didn’t realize it got that cold out there recently. I tend to mostly watch the Gulf Islands weather. Hopefully it will warm up soon.

That’s cold. I only put out black oil seed in our feeders. Right now filling them in thigh high snow is an unpleasant experience.
