I ran away from teaching to the country to grow veggies. There are also some chooks and a pair of troublesome goats who were so much trouble they had to go! My simple green life isn't always as simple or as green as I'd like...but I keep trying!

Winter Wednesday #13

I have a confession to make.
I have always loathed Winter.
It's not so much the cold 
as the lack of light.

Having to find positive things
to share with you lot ever Wednesday,
has made me appreciate the season more
and even made it seem shorter.

My last winter offering to you are
the fairy gardens of moss, lichen
and little carnivorous plants
that love the damp forest floor.












I hope lots of bloggers join write about the joys of winter....one last time today and there a lots of links.
Thanks again for coming to play with me each Wednesday and for making Winter bearable this year.
Yay!  Almost Spring!


Rose and Bill come for a last bit of Winter fun
Lovely Phoebe has struck an emotional chord
Andrea is reveling in nature's abundance
Wendy, the Duchess, is thinking about coffee
Kristi has found her inner poet
Enchanting Suzanne has veggies galore
Suburban Tomato has a wonderful Winter Roundup
A challenge is afoot over at the New Good Life
Over in S.A. it is almost a beach day!
The hirsute Ali is not frizzed by Winter
It's all turkish in Adelaide
Click here paint, peat, poo, paws and propagating fun.

    Some nice spots of green there in winter. In winter our farm turns a barren brown and the darkness is always a bit of a downer.

    Oh is this the last one, I thought there was one more. Either way it's already feeling like a new season has begun. Here's my thoughts, or rather lack there of, for this week.

    Did I make it? Is it still Wednesday?
    The ground here has already started to dry out, and I noticed yesterday that the mossy growth around the water tank is starting to turn from green to brown. We didn't have any mushrooms or toadies come up this winter - I guess it just wasn't wet enough.
    I'm saying farewell to winter with a beautiful spring day: http://sorcha-sidhe.blogspot.com/2011/08/farewell-to-winter-wednesday.html.

    Hey! There's one more...isn't there?? Because I didn't get a chance this week, work whipping my butt!! I was thinking 'don't worry Mrs Bok you still have one more to go!'

    But if this is the last one (booooooo) thank you for encouraging us to find the fun in winter.

    You guys may be looking forward to spring, but I'm warning you that up here in California we're hanging onto summer as long as we can. It's dry and it's hot, but right now it's ours and you're just gonna have to wait a while longer. Sorry.
