In case you are wondering, we hit double digits celsius on Easter weekend (Thursday and Friday) for the first time since November 24 — a 129 day stretch. As I write this on Saturday, we woke up to snow, and temperatures are forecast to stay below 10°C (50°F) more another week.
Buildings
The garage/workshop lies on the other side of the driveway and is pretty well inaccessible in winter although Brian has obviously made it to the door to have a peek inside.
The converted planer mill is where we like to hang out in decent weather. It's screened to help keep away the biting insects.
Around the Property

Above: the apple tree opposite the cottage. The deer sneak here in late summer for snacks. I was in an arty frame of mind when I processed this.

Snowshoes
Okay winter: I am done with you. Hasten spring.
I agree with your final comment.... I've seen enough of snow and ice, no matter how pretty your photos are! Perhaps I'll come back to this particular post and look at the photos again in July, when it's 30C and feeling like 38C with 90% humidity....
ReplyDeleteHow fun to be in the blogging world and looking at snow when the temps get higher in our summer days.
ReplyDeleteWinter Holiday retreat indeed. I'd describe the scenes as "enchanting"..... Thanks A.C.
ReplyDeletei, personally, appreciate the beauty in these photos now that we're knee-deep in springtime here in texas. i'm sure you're ready for that kind of knee-deep, too. :)

ReplyDeleteI don't usually think of a cottage as a great place for a winter retreat but you have proved me wrong.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to send some of our already-too-warm weather to you. The snow certainly is pretty in those parts.
ReplyDeleteWelcome home with mug and camera. That's a flat out lovely photo of Sue in your last entry, but they are all magic. Thanks so much.
ReplyDeleteLooks like such a beautiful setting when sniw covered, but like you we too tired of winter. Yet, we had an afternoon of heavy flurry activity this week, which amounted to no accumulation. Snow shoeing is in our future for next year.
