Winter is back, after a short break, in upstate New York.
We were lulled into thinking it was springtime for about three days. For a brief moment, we were happy.
Friday, it got to 66 F (18.8 C) around lunchtime.
Then, reality intruded. Rudely.
This is what resulted. We are fortunate in comparison with other parts of upstate New York, cut it is a bit slippery out there and I never left my house yesterday.
More pictures tomorrow, when I participate in Garden Bloggers Bloom Day.
This will probably be my last post for the Ultimate Blog Challenge, January edition. I am leaving the Challenge early as I have not had the time to properly read/comment on new blogs and old favorites. I will still be posting daily, at least for the next week, but many of these posts are either "reruns" or prewritten posts.
I hope you have enjoyed what you have seen, and if I have not been able to respond to your visit or comment, I apologize.
While I am here I want to thank Paul Taubman for all he does to keep the UBC a well run challenge.
I hope to "see" some of you in April, and some even sooner. If I am able to rejoin before the end of the Challenge on January 31, I will.
Day 14 of the Ultimate Blog Challenge #blogboost
Welcome! I hope I bring a spot of calm and happiness into these uncertain times. I blog about my photography adventures, flowers, gardening, the importance of chocolate in a well lived life, or anything else on my mind.

I miss upstate NY. You have given some memories back, I will continue to follow your blog. That is what it is about. I thank Paul as well for brining me to your blog

ReplyDeleteWe had the same thing here, a blizzard followed by spring weather, followed by an Artic blast.
ReplyDeleteStay safe. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteWow, lots of snow. Stay warm.
ReplyDeleteI think most of us in United States could use break from winter. I know I could.

We had the same false "warm-up" as well. All of our snow melted and the cheetah was asking 1) Where the birds at? 2)Open the windows!!
