The Cold Grasp of Winter...

... reaches it's icy grip over the farm trying to hold on even though the earth and growing things have begun to emerge and reach longingly towards Spring. 

The view out our bedroom window below, the lacy cedar branches laden with snow, the Quince tree has little green leaves and it's branches hold piles of fluffy snow.
These are the French doors in our master bedroom which look out to our woods filled with Cedar and Douglas Fir trees.
Our woods quiet with a blanket of snow.
 I love how the snow has covered my stand of dwarf variegated bamboo.
Dear husband took the camera out into the farmyard and took a photo across the road at the tree covered hill there.
 And captured this moody shot of the clouds, a patch of blue sky, our barn and pasture with the old pear trees, yews and walnut trees.
Here are our two walnut trees that stand sentinel over our circular drive.
The sun is now out and the snow is melting and the daffodils are smiling.. I see it on their little tightly furled buds.. :-)

  1. All your pictures look quite lovely from where I'm sitting. Where I'm sitting it's just a bit chilly. Glad I don't have to feel the cold that goes with those pictures.

    They are good enough for a calender or post cards.

  3. It looks so pretty! I can appreciate other people's snow more than my own, since yours doesn't complicate my life lol. We had 3 inches the other night causing schools to be closed the next day. Such a nuisance! I can't wait for our daffodils to start poking up, it's almost March!

    While its still very warm here, I did sense a slight coolness in the morning air - Yeah, autumn is very slowly on its way

  8. You know, I can get a bit jealous over here! Not because of the snow, we've had loads of snow the last couple of years but your view, the farm, the woods, the tress. I'd love so much ground around my house. Don't get me wrong, I don't complain, I live in a fairly large house, according to Dutch standards anyway, but I would love to live in a forest...
