I'm glad that you are getting some relief and that the snow is melting. A white Christmas is a lovely thing, but just a faint dusting would do!Pondsidehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02407539138546412482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1735567962622470867.post-87521922523027971902010-12-06T14:46:02.886+00:002010-12-06T14:46:02.886+00:00Sorry, I just can't get all moony and misty-ey...Sorry, I just can't get all moony and misty-eyed over dead and dormant trees at this time of year. I love the stark beauty of a dead tree in summer when there's so much green in abundance. Late fall into spring, I just get saddened because everything looks dead. Thanks a bunch, H.<br /><br />Glad <i>someone's</i> enjoying a new camera. I don't even have that.<br /><br />Sigh.<br /><br />BTW, I looked up braai.

I don't know if we can even buy them in SA. I can't wait to see yours putting out their new growth in spring.<br /><br />How lucky you are to have a flowering cherry in your garden, too. They are so beautiful. Can't wait to see yours in flower come spring! You certainly have lots to look forward to ;)<br /><br />Hope we'll also get to see some photos of the squirrels playing in the dead canopy of your neighbour-but-one's tree come spring, too? All good practice for using your new camera's zoom function! We have squirrels visiting our garden at the moment. They come to eat from the bird feeding table :) A couple of years ago, they nested in our willow tree, which was marvellous, as we could watch their antics whilst lying in bed (the willow is beside the pond, outside our bedroom window).Desireehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01069419364783245762noreply@blogger.com
