The heavy low grey clouds , wind and rainy wet weather of November has gone.
For the last few days, we have had bright blue skies.. and the sun giving some warmth during the midday hours. The birds are happy, twittering and flying around.
When the horses hear my whistle, they run with sturdy gait to where i feed them. I know they too are enjoying the warm sun on their backs.
The quietness of the fields- enjoying the sunJasmine blooming early... getting mixed messages .. its truly springlike today.
With this strange climate- the flowers are growing like mad. I even have new shoots on my roses.
Last week was a busy week for me. Invitations to birthday party and dinners. It takes me a couple of days to get back to normal, an extra glass or two.!! After all, its the Christmas season.
Keep your Advent candle bright.
Val
wow, you still have blooms and lots of green. i didn't realize olive trees stayed green all year. :)
ReplyDeleteHi Tex.. Thanks for coming over. Always nice to see you.
ReplyDeleteYes, Olive trees never change their leaves.. the old leaves drop.. but the tree is never bare.. and is always green. I am pretty lucky.. my garden still has some blooms around.
That is so amazing, having the strange weather and the wonderful ongoing blooms! Suzy x
ReplyDeleteIt is strange weather.. we have had sun ..but cold morning and evenings.

Lovely flowers from your garden Val - we too are enjoying some wonderful blue skies and sunshine although it is very nippy in the shade.
