One of my greatest pleasures is taking photographs of my yard throughout the year. I find deep satisfaction in recording the beauty of flowers and plants and seasons, but, not surprisingly, I also like those, “Ooh, nice job on the photo” pats on the back. Which, up to this time, has meant that I scattered my pictorial largesse far and wide.
New and noteworthy (to me) events in the last few months have left limited energy to cautiously spend on what is most important—like my
pitchers! Given the new and noteworthies, instead of dropping flower images into multiple conversations on different forums, I am going to contain myself pretty much to this thread. I hope no one will be offended if I do not respond to most comments, except maybe with a thumbs-up. There are many days, now, that just getting to the coffee is a monumental achievement—so, for the most part, getting the photographs edited and online is going to be all the extra achievement I will be able to manage for awhile.
But I do so love the process and hope you find looking at the results as enjoyable and entertaining as do I.
These are from February. Will start on March tomorrow.
First of two heavy-for-us snowfalls this Winter.
I also loved reading your blogs and many of your comments in different threads. You have a gift for writing and have been so generous in sharing yourself, your humour and your beautiful gardens. I do not want a response but just wanted to say thank you. 
with Susie. I enjoy your posts, humor and photos. I think it's smart to post in one thread. Keep em coming as you have the energy!!!!
