5. They're lovely and so is the stained glass.
Bloom time is over here. The only plants showing color are: The willows, which are the last to change the subtle shades of the bark and the first to show signs of life again in Spring. My evergreen shrubs have red berries to feed the birds but even that will be gone soon. :cry:

7. I know that winter has started in earnest for you......I'm so sorry.....
I think that was part of what motivated me tonight...

I wanted to bring you some summery stuff...but I didn't want to make you unhappy....

I apologize if I did that......:cry:

12. I'll have my friends at DU to keep me company.

But my hibernation has already started. I may stay home for a week or longer at a time till March. It takes something very special to get me to do anything beyond the Dunkin' Donuts drive through for a hot mocha latte. I'm just very glad I don't care for their donuts or I'd find myself in big ass trouble. :rofl:

10. Aw, my dear Straight Shooter!
As I mentioned upthread, these were about the ONLY flowers still blooming in my garden today!

I am quite pleased, however, with how the pic turned out....

The window is normally gorgeous, since it faces south.....even on a cloudy day, it is lovely...

It cheers me.....and I hope it does you, as well!

:loveya: :hug:

19. My dear Buffy!
I always take one more turn around the Lounge before I turn in.......

Good thing I did.....otherwise I would have missed you.....

I'm so pleased that you like my photos....esp. the window.....

My older daughter designed it...and a local artisan made it...

It commemorates my husband's and my 30th wedding anniversary.....
