Exactly 6 Months Ago


It was not that many months ago that everyone was tired of the cold and snow, and doing lots of complaining.  Well after the triple digit temperatures last week, a reminder of the recent cold Winter is a welcomed change from the present heat.  However, just think, in six months it will all be here again!  Then we will wish for the heat.  Such is the fickle state of the human mind.  These photos were taken exactly six months ago at the Gardens at Waters East.  They should satisfy the need to beat the heat.

  6. It's an interesting post! Yes, we complained about the cold six months ago, and then complaining about the heat wave, now. In a way, it may be a good thing to have four seasons!

  7. I agree with Marit. No complaints about the heat from me! The winter photos are fun, though.

  10. hello JC and thank you for visiting my blog with such nice comments : )
    I absolutely love this post ... love seeing these pictures of old man winter at his finest too! .. YES !!! I think gardeners are so reliant on weather conditions that we are one of the most sensitive to it's changes through the seasons .. I was just taking some pictures of the "susans" and thinking that this is the time of the Black Eyed Susans .. August & September are almost here and then hopefully we will capture some beautiful Fall colours to have that final warmth of colour.
    You are in a wonderful area .. the views are gorgeous !
    Joy : )

  12. Deine Winterbilder kommen genau richtig. Wir erwarten morgen bis 40 Grad. Das ist für Deutschland sehr ungewöhnlich. Ich werde mich beim Anblick deiner Schneebilder abkühlen.
