January, the coldest month here, sometimes snow, rain and frosts occur, the days are short and dark. A thin layer of snow fell down in the first day of the New year and I wanted to go to my garden to look at it in the snow. The snow has not melted yet, although the temperature was +1 C.
My garden sleeps, covered with a white blanket. The water in the pond froze and turned into ice.
I can't walk for a long time because of cold. But love to shovel snow from the paths, look at the birds. They often fly up to the bird feeder so I add seeds and some lard for these little creatures.
On January days the sun rarely shines through low gray clouds. It is sad to look at the bare trees and shrubs, only spruce, thuja and pine trees are green against a white and gray background.
As it quickly darkens I prefer to early return to the city. Do you love walking in cold days or you prefer to stay at home? Howbeit,
HAPPY NEW YEAR TO ALL YOU!
I like to get outside for at least part of every day, and I dress for the conditions. Walking in the cold bothers me far less than walking in oppressive heat.
ReplyDeleteDear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteI don't like walking on cool and cloudy days. I prefer to stay home then.
I wish you peace in your soul, glow in your eyes, a smile on your face,
love in your heart, and happiness in life.
From all my heart, I want you all the best in New Year!
Happy new year, dear Nadezda!
ReplyDeleteI try to have every day at least one short walk outside also in wintertime... even though it's cold, dark and slippery. :) Getting older, I have started to appreciate a little bit more southern climates.
Hello dear Nadezda,
ReplyDeleteIt looks so nice with fresh new snow! We have snow on the ground here too, but it's old and have been wet more than one time. It's very slippery outside here now.
Happy New Year!
Hugs!
