The Winter garden
The view I have from my bedroom’s window.It’s beautiful in summer times too with all the flowers.I add a little japanese bridge to walk over the spring’s flow.It’s the second snowfall we have ,it’s white everywhere.I ‘m gone put that pic. in the «passion» group because my garden is a part of my soul.I took off big roots and heavy stones all over arround the house,bought , I don’t know how many trip of soil to fill up my shadow garden.I’ve worked for three years and It’s not finished yet. .All my friends thought I was crasy …well,maybe a little.You will see more of it in summer time.
I know it looks like a B&W photo because of all the snow but it’s not.

This winter poem describing Canadian winters by Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre says it all so simply?
“SHIT, It’s Cold!”
” WINTER ”
~ Abigail Elizabeth McIntyre
One can never assume the garden is full.
The challenge is not in how many flowers you wish to see there but in how you want to see them and where.
Loved it. I love winters as well and inspite of all the ‘weather talk’ that people love to muse and rant over a cup of Timmys or StarBucks…. winter is still winter and no amount of critique will stop her from flaunting her pretty white tresses and dresses for all to see.
Thanks for sharing this
~Ari

Don’t worry I’m a skier and I know about cold but my love for skiing is much stronger .This year was special I still have more than 4 feet everywhere over my garden ,my flowers are going to bloom a month later but I will have them until september .And yes I recited that poem many times on the hill…thanks Ari.
