No Snow Today …

Happily reminding us that winter won’t last forever.
Agreed! Right now I am sick with the flu (not covid) and those flowers look especially attractive.
Oh no! Well, good that it’s not Covid, but still…. Do you have NeilMed sinus rinse? It’s the answer! Use distilled water, 25 seconds in the microwave, a packet of NeilMed salt mix, and squirt it up your nostrils. You’ll feel better and get over your bug sooner. Those little critters don’t like to live in a salty environment.
Thanks for the tip! I have been rinsing with saline, but this sounds like it might work a lot better. I do have NeilMed nose moisturiser but not the salt packets. Thanks again!
They have worked wonders for us here in our house. I haven’t been sick with a cold for years and years and years (I hope I haven’t put a hex on myself) – and I used to get sick every year when I was still teaching (and before I knew about NeilMed). I used salt too at first, but the packets are better.
Thank you very much, Anneli. I will definitely be getting some! I haven’t had any kind of cold or flu since well before the pandemic, so this time I’m getting whacked with every symptom. Ice cream helps. 🙂 I agree; I hope you haven’t hexed yourself!
Even if I did get sick, the NeilMed would make it easier to get through it. I hope you feel better soon. Good excuse to eat ice cream, or whatever makes you feel good.
Thank you very much, Anneli. I’m feeling like I may have turned the corner as of this morning. 🙂
So happy to hear that!
Thank you. 🙂
How nice to be transported back in time and remember all the beautiful colours and flowers from summer. The Penticton Rose Garden looks stunning. I can almost smell the sweetness from all those flowers.
Agreed. We have freezing rain falling today and it’s just so overcast and miserable, so looking at bright summer flowers is great! The Rose Garden is very pretty. It’s about a 2km walk from our place along the lake. Cheers.
A bright spot during a Canadian winter. Looking forward to spring summer and fall. Happy Tuesday. Allan
Oh yes, me too. It’s important to keep those bright spots all shined up!
A nice time and place to revisit!
Definitely! Today we have a wet snow falling that’s freezing on contact with anything it lands on. Ugh.
I’m very sorry to hear you are sick and I hope these happy, uplifting images speed you on your way to recovery.
Thank you very much for your well wishes, Kenny. 🙂 It’s garden variety flu, so I should be on the downside in a day or two.
I think the bottom picture is Dianthus, not Phlox. They are so pretty. Nice difference from snow.
I hope you are feeling better.
Thank you very much. 🙂 I checked with Google and it came back with phlox as the name. I didn’t think they were dianthus because they didn’t have much scent. Thanks for your well wishes. 🙂
Google is retarded. 🙄😝
Try this:
https://plantnet.org/en/
There is an app and, even though they sometimes miss, they are more accurate than Google. My buddy uses Google to identify things and 70% of the time, it is wrong.
Just sayin’…🤷♀️
Thanks for the link! Much appreciated. 🙂
Welcome!
Winter here in Nova Scotia..but these flowers are so beautiful. Anita
I work in NWT (where winter is definitely established!) but my home is in Penticton. It’s usually very temperate through the winter but the rose garden doesn’t look like that now. I took those photos in July. Cheers.
