I was doing some house-cleaning on my blog today and came upon a post that I forgot to show you last Fall.
Since I'm sitting in the office looking out the window at all the dirty snow I thought I would put this up today just so you can see some greenery and flowers. Look at that sunshine!
So here's a post from last Fall, 2013.
While walking our property today, I peaked through some brush when I thought I spotted something moving.
Looks like we had sparked some interest with a neighbours' cat.
"Hello gorgeous."
Seeing our lot has been vacant for years now, this feline was probably rather surprised to see anyone walking around. I certainly got it's attention.
There is one building on our 2 acre lot. It is an old chicken coop that my grandmother raised her hens in and I have very vivid childhood memories of collecting their eggs.
The coop is covered with grape vines and these little red berries.
This is an 'un-safe' zone because of rotting wood.
The old boards will eventually be pulled off to reveal the logs underneath.
Then I have plans for this building.
Right now, though, I would say a raccoon may be living in there.
I can just picture it using its' long fingers to open this door to the loft.
The retired guy was busy doing 'somethin'. Looks like he's rowing a boat but I think he was actually picking up branches so the tractor wouldn't hit them.
There were a few flowers hanging on for dear life today. One more frost and I expect they will be gone.
A man and his old dilapidated tractor.
It's pure love, I tell ya.
So that's it.
Now back to winter. :(
hugs, Deb
Oh, that was lovely! To see colour again is pretty marvelous!

Your plant with the red berries looks little like one of the "deadly nightshades"!
ReplyDeleteThat`s interesting. I just read up on them. I`ll have it checked out. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteLast fall seems worlds away!
ReplyDeleteAhhh, green. I am so looking forward to spring this year. Thank you for these pix!
ReplyDeleteI needed this tiny bit of warm beauty to get through the next few months! Thanks Deb!
ReplyDeleteI thought that the berries looked like they are in the deadly nightshade family also...be careful.
