Today - temperatures with wind chills below zero where I live in New York State.
This weekend - more cold weather.
Monday - maybe another bad snowstorm. We lucked out of the last one (Tuesday for us) but a lot of the United States didn't.
White skies at sunrise white skies at sunset.
Enough! Time to reminisce.
I looked on my phone the other day, and found 79 photos taken during two visits to Untermyer Gardens in Yonkers, New York. I am so tired of winter, and so tired of this time of isolating, so I am taking us on a little trip down my memory lane (as the old saying goes) today.
A view of the Hudson River and, beyond the Palisades in New Jersey. I had at least the first of these pictures on my blog before, but I honestly don't care right now.
And a closer look at this tower.
Finally, a possibly a butterfly bush (Buddleia davidii) but I'm not sure.
Vitex agnus-castus, or chaste tree.
Will we ever have beautiful fall like weather again? Or will we have snow in May with chilly temperatures, like last year? (yes, I'm whining).
It's nice thinking of that beautiful day (September 9, 2019) when we were visiting Yonkers - and we hope we can go back one day to see this amazing (and free!) city of Yonkers historic garden again.

...your butterfly bush is Vitex agnus-castus, commonly called chaste tree.
ReplyDeleteI was uneasy with my ID, and you are right. Thank you, Tom. Post is being corrected.
DeleteThank goodness for photos and memories. The Gardens are beautiful, as are your photos!
ReplyDeleteI'm so tired of winter too (that storm this week didn't miss us). Your pictures were a perfect cure.
ReplyDeleteThese are places I dream of. First heard of Yonkers in the movie, Hello, Dolly and thought it sounded sooo interesting. I guess I'm obsessed with anything 'New York'! Thank you for this glimpse of green and warmth. -30 C (-22 F) again here today. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Hope you get to go back and get more.
ReplyDelete13 degrees outside when I got up this morning ...loving your taste of warmer weather
ReplyDeletesigh, sigh... beautiful. also tired of (not that cold so far) winter and isolation.
ReplyDeleteI had to smile a little bit. I don't get out like I used to so I suspect I am posting some photos twice. I guess there is no law against it. I post a lot of photos on Instagram and a few direct on facebook so yes, maybe I overlap myself quite a bit.
ReplyDeleteWe are also expecting a winter storm on Sunday so I am ready for Spring too!
ReplyDeleteGreetings and Salutations! I enjoyed the tour down memory lane. Be safe.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful. Looks like it was a nice walk. We're cold and wet here, too. Spring will come. It will.
