… from the usual February weather are a necessary little thing right now since many of us seem to be experiencing overcast and winter blahs.
Back in early June we stopped at a favourite winery.
We enjoyed a lovely view …
… a lovely glass of wine …
… and a lovely lunch.
Summer memories are great right now.
Happy Thursday.
It’s nice to see the bright green winter moss and to also hear the gurgling snow melt water.
We have had a lot of rain which has made quick work of the frozen stuff, and it’s beginning to feel a teeny bit like spring might be on the way.

There was some sleepy chatting, but mostly there was a lot of settling and snoozing.
Well fed and comfortable, they seemed to be doing well.
Happy Saturday.
This fountain in our Japanese garden was quite impaired by the cold weather we had!
It was left running because the pond is full of fish, and given how shallow it is, they might have frozen in our recent cold snap. So it was still struggling along, with what looks like a collapsing volcanic snow-cone around it.
