January... winter... cold... snow... ice... cold... poor driving.. cancellations.. did I mention cold? And have I mentioned I dislike winter? It's almost the end of the month and I guess, really, I shouldn't be complaining as we have gotten off fairly lucky so far. But we are getting hammered with a storm today/tonight. Snow, ice pellets, and now freezing rain. Yuch! So...... I thought if you, like me, are suffering from A.F.D. (that's Acute Flower Deprivation), and longing for warmer weather...you might enjoy a little summer memory.. here are some summer blooms to add a little color to your day. Enjoy! (Mark is enjoying 80 F temps in Miami this weekend...lucky him...)
Hope that warmed you up a bit!! Spring IS coming...eventually...
Peace,
Linda

Oh, Linda! You're not playing fair showing us those lovely blooms lol! And yes, I'm VERY SICK of winter LOL!
Lovely pics; you and Shelley both know that it's too early to be sick of winter! We've got at least another two months of it before we can start dreaming of Spring!
Maybe we need a quilt retreat to pass the time!!!
Oh Sandra- you're wrong. It's NEVER too soon to dream of spring... lol
Lovely pictures and a nice reminder of what to look forward to. I poured over the seed catalogues yesterday & ordered all of my flower seeds. :) So far we've been having a very abnormal winter: not much snow and very nice temps. It's been great for driving that's for sure especially compared to last winter. Have a lovely day.
