Very difficult to imagine it right now... sitting, with my cup of coffee, at our little table in the yard! (Sitting comfortably anyway!!)
I keep looking out my kitchen window at our little table and chairs in our yard and I keep wondering when I will be able to sit out there again... I love to sit out there in the mornings on sunny spring and summer days, enjoying my cup of coffee... Relaxing a bit and soaking in the beauty around me before beginning my day. It's very peaceful listening to the birds chirp, watching the squirrels romp around. Last year we had a black squirrel who kept visiting, he had a white ring around his tail... (No, it wasn't a skunk! LOL!) I wonder if we'll see him again this year. We get all kinds of different birds visiting us too. I especially love the Cardinals, they are beautiful! There's always a lot of activity in the yard. (Of course that was before Izzie became part of our family... she may chase away all that 'activity'!! Then it'll just be Izzie, me and my cup of coffee... Actually, Izzie alone creates a lot of activity, that's for sure!!) The great thing is ~ we will be outside, and I'm looking forward to the little buds beginning to appear on the trees, the colorful flowers sprouting up, the pretty green grass... Sigh... I think I am ready for SPRING! I said that the other day to one of the attorney's I work for, and he said; "Yes, but winter closely follows spring." That wasn't a fun conversation!
So, at the moment I can only dream of sitting at our little table in the yard... For now all I see is snow when looking out my window, lots and lots of snow... Snow and a lonely little table and chair set! Too cold for the birds and too cold for me. Although it is supposed to warm up this week and I am really looking forward to that. In the meantime, I did get some great winter photographs, which is always fun! Here are a few ~ all taken in our yard.
*♥* Thanks for visiting!! Have a happy Day! :)

So beautiful to look at from a distance - LOL, but it looks soooo cold. Turned to my boss yesterday as we left work and said with a smile - "I think our winter is over". Days in the 80's, waiting for the night temps to rise and to be able to swim. I love the summer.
ReplyDeleteTrina,
ReplyDeleteYour post makes me laugh ~ How Izzie will love chasing the birds, squirrels and chipmunks when the snow is gone, (whenever that will be.) it looks like it will take forever to melt.

LOL Gayl! It is beautiful... from a distance! :) Jealous ~ days in the 80's ~ **Sigh**
ReplyDeleteMom, It sure does look like it will take forever to melt... but a few warmer and sunny days and we will see a big difference... I think... :) Glad my post made you laugh, I was laughing when I wrote it too!! Izzie will love the chase ~ not so much Trina, but Izzie will for sure!
ReplyDeleteLove the winter photos - Hopefully you'll be enjoying your yard in a couple of months!
ReplyDeleteThanks Diane, so glad you enjoyed seeing the winter photos... winter does provide beautiful scenery, that's for sure! :)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pictures and lovely story. Sounds COLD, but lovely. Hope your black and white faux skunk-squirrel comes back this year to say hi.
ReplyDeleteOh stop complaining...just slap on the old snow suit and goggles, strap on the galoshes, fill the thermos, hike out there to that little table, dust the snow off the chair...and enjoy!
ReplyDeleteSeriously though all that snow makes for great photography...love the pictures.
Thanks Anita! It is lovely, the snow... and I think that's what I will call our little squirrel; "Skunk-Squirrel" ~ Cute! :)
ReplyDeleteLOL Charlie!! At the risk of complaining more... Slapping on the old snow suit and goggles, strapping on the galoshes, filling the thermos, and hiking outside... that's part of the 'fun' of winter ~ all that EXTRA time we need just to go outside!!! :) LOL!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad you like the pictures, a very nice compliment coming from an awesome photographer such as yourself!!!

ReplyDelete#2 & #3 photos are my favorites, very pretty.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jackie! It's good that you can still enjoy photographs of snow even though, and I'm pretty sure I'm right about this: you are VERY snow weary right about now! LOL!
