It's Cold

 
 
It's cold,gray and wet outside my windows
and 
I am not a cold weather kind of girl
but 
I am delightfully warm and cozy inside
 
 looking at the new spring seed catalogs
making potato soup
and
sipping a cup of tea
 
Early this morning for just a wee moment the sun was shining
and
my sweet Alfie dog and I quickly went outside
to
take photos of my garden.
 
He discovered he likes cold weather
and
he has been playing outside all day.
 
 We have not had a hard freeze
and
the garden still looks wonderful....
 




Warm and cozy wishes

Dottie

  8. Your garden does look wonderful. This is the time of year when everyone plants because it is the only mild season when plants can actually grow. Sending warm wishes your way for a wonderful new year. Tammy

  13. Love the peek of your bottle tree in your garden. Its icy here but no snow sticking (Vancouver BC) so I am not complaining.

  16. Oh! you've got a bottle tree! I want to make one so much. Perhaps this year will be the year. :)

    Potato soup sounds so yummy ... I adore soup, warms the body and the soul. Is there a photo of your darling Alfie on your blog? How cute that he has discovered the fun of winter days.

    Wishing you a warm and cozy weekend!
