We usually experience an intense winter during the months of January and Février. During those months I begin to drool over garden periodicals especially the jardins de pays.
I'm particularly affectueux of pink cabbage roses and hydrangeas. Old fashioned blooms of phlox and foxgloves in pretty shades of violet, pink and cream I amour! Lavender blooming freely throughout the landscape.
Little hideaways covered with English ivy and wisteria are to my liking.
rêver, rêver
Do you dream of jardins de pays when it's cold and snowy outside?
Ayez un beau jour

Love your photographs! I love the thought of lavender lemonade during the summer...my favorite summertime drink! Happy New Year.

I have just discovered your blog through "Show and Tell Friday", how absolutely delightful it is. I have been so absorbed I forgot the time...I will be back to read more after my dinner!
ReplyDeleteWell, I live in the Arizona Desert so it really doesn't get so cold and definitely not Snowy... but I adore such fabulous Images for the opposite reason... how lush and green everything is, how much more temperate the climate appears when ours is so very hot... and the delightful aromas that must be evident with so much gorgeous blooms abounding! *swooning*
ReplyDeleteThese Images simply captivate me too and you so eloquently stated exactly how I feel... Dawn... The Bohemian

Jill, just a note, your post fonts have gotten really small and hard to read. Just happened in the last few minutes? Thought you'd want to know. : )
ReplyDeleteI love getting gardening catalogs in the winter. I'm in California so its time for me to start planning my vegetable garden, only about a month left before planting time.
