@mousiegirl, we had snow yesterday ... about 5 inches.  Today everything is white and beautiful.  We took the dogs out for a walk this morning and it pure sunshine and zero (which is our freezing temp in Celcius).  Not a breath of wind at all.  Just gorgeous.  The snow has been melting all afternoon.  We have rain coming so it will be gone soon.  If this is winter 2018, I'm good with it.  Too early for seeds here but soon.  LM

@Lilysmom  I love snow.   Do you have another dog now?

[Lilysmom]

@mousiegirl, no just one.  We have a couple of friends and we usually walk their dogs and let them out while the owner's work.  It's part of our daily routine.  Maggie, the bearded collie, walked with us this morning.  She is high energy and loves walking.  The other is a chocolate lab like ours and we let her out every day and take her for walk in the park.  They're part of our pack.  LM

Great idea, @JustJazzmom, about readying our Felco tools for spring.  I love my Felco hand pruner.  The blades are incredible.  I have one from maybe 40 years ago that is still working well.  I did get a new one a couple of years ago, though, that I use now.

Hi @Lilysmom

Did I miss your photos this year of your garden in winter?  I bet I did.

[Lilysmom]

@GingerPeach, probably not.  We have had a very strange winter here in Nova Scotia.  I didn’t take many photos because almost every time it snowed, it rained right after and took the snow away.  No complaints on no snow but it decreases the photo opportunities for sure😀.

Here are a couple from December.  LM

You're so sweet to post those, @Lilysmom

I remember you had the creche last year, too.  I love your stained glass garden birds.  I find myself partial to the nuthatch (I think that's what he is.).

[Lilysmom]

@GingerPeach, the nuthatch is so sweet.  I love that he runs down the tree I stead of up.  He sits right below my living room window.  LM
