Monday…
and I woke up to a bitter cold temp of 2 degrees F with a wind chill of 19 below zero. The snow has drifted around my car and the front sidewalk is drifted over. Maintenance came last night and plowed off the driveway where we back our cars out and of course everything has blown over again this morning. I hope that my car will start. I will go out in a little while and give it a try.
This picture was taken last year of one of my flower beds at home. If you will click on the picture you will see how pretty they were. The compensations here in my new place go a long way towards making up the difference. It’s ok, I am just reminiscing, and feeling a little bit homesick.
To the best of my ability my early countdown shows only 97 days till Spring.
Beth
Same cold here. Have to go out too and not looking forward to it. Love the picture as it gives me something to look forward to. SPRING
ReplyDeleteCold here but not as bad as you have. We had about 5 or so inches of snow. Was only supposed to be snow showers. 2-3 in. tops.
ReplyDeleteOh myyyyyy, I clicked on the photo and Beth, they are GORGEOUS. That would make anyone homesick. I mean, now I'm homesick for YOUR old home. Lol, we all get just too close hahahaha.
ReplyDeleteIt started snowing here this morning but it's almost stopped now. Just enough to be pretty, about an inch. But cold? B-R-RRRRRRRRRRR!
XOXOXO
Nice here in Calif, but tomorrow I am headed home via Chicago. I hope things have calmed down by then. I don't want to be one of those folks on the news stretched out on an airport floor. Your flowers look nice - makes me think about my garden now under a few feet of snow, I'm told...
ReplyDeleteWhy does winter have to be too cold? Ya well please keep warm. Your phot of the flowers are a breath of sunshine. So pretty. 97 days huh? Something to look forward to!
ReplyDeleteI just completely confused myself, Beth. Saw your announcement about the 2 blogs, so I clicked on the usual one. A message pops up saying that page is no longer found. I thought, shoot, must be an entirely diff site addy, so I put in the bmarie one as an add into my dashboard and then found out it's the same,lol. SO, I might be following you twice now, dang if I know. Good to be in the loop, though :D xoxoxo
ReplyDeleteLike Jenny,It happened to me too, not the first time that It said it didn't exist. The flowers are/were beautiful, my favorite color too. Teens here tonight, don't know what the wind chill will be.
ReplyDeleteDo be safe starting your car, face covered too, I hope.
Hi Beth
ReplyDeleteI dont like word press much either. Altogether things seem to get more and more mixed up and confusing on here, since wls decided to do whatever it was they decided to do. ah well guess it is no good being homesick for that either. Hope you warm up, we have the snow back later in week they say and definately a cold and white Christmas. 97 days did you say? in the meantime may god help us to appreciate those special winter moments. take care - Hugs Nita
Delightful picture for a cold day my friend. That countdown looks to be a big number now but bit by bit we'll see it warm up again. I'm looking forward to it already I have to admit. The mid-west is getting hammered while here in the North West we have it pretty good now...I guess it's only fitting since we got pummeled so hard before everyone else. Stay warm and safe.
ReplyDeleteIt won't hurt my feelings if winter flies by like summer did. Would love to look out and see flowers again.
ReplyDeleteYour cold doesn't make me miss IL, although we're not much warmer. Was about 10 this morning and stayed in mid teens all day. We even have 8 inches of snow. Forecast was for .5 to 1 inch, only it didn't quit. Oh well, the grandkids have enjoyed it thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteBeth I love Love your hearder.
ReplyDeleteGORGEOUS .. Im with Jenny D. I adore the purple.
Hope your having a good week Beth.
Hugs xoxo
Makes one feel a shiver just reading about your weather. A pity you had to go out in that awful cold.Stay warm!
ReplyDeleteIt sound like we are going to talks about your weather and mines the same one is falling to dry and melt in messy this side is made floods...
ReplyDeleteSo far not too good?
Hope we will have sunny day:-)
Enjoy your day!
Well, at least spring is less than 100 days away! I keep changing my desktop background to a picture from 6 months ago. So much green, pretty flowers and it looks so warm. At least we can dream, right?
ReplyDeleteCold here too, but hey, it's winter (almost) in Wisconsin.
Lovely picture Beth look a bit like cornflowers love the blue. Cold heck Its a pity you have to go out in it. Take care out there , it's sunny here today but they say we are due another freezing spell. I will follower you here instead of WP it is hard to keep up the two Beth. Enjoy your day and keep warm oh and thank you for your comments on my WP. xx
ReplyDeleteDid that make sense I meant Follow you as before. oops!
ReplyDelete97 days 'til Spring? Yikes!!
ReplyDeleteAre the flowers Cornflowers?..thats what sprang to mind, before I read Sheila's comment... Whatever they are, they look so beautiful.
Take care out there, and be safe....xPenx
That's what I thought they were, cornflowers, but it's not the right leaf, more like a larkspur lef, please tell us, if you read this plea.
ReplyDeleteCold[ish] here, but is going to get colder, we've a long way to go before it's spring, usually we get a mild spell before Christmas, which helps soften the length of winter, but not this year,. brrrrrrrrrrrr
Your pretty flowers are a lovely reminder of a circle filled with never ending love.
