    Flowers in WINTER!

    Me — always a positive outlook. But I’m wondering about this winter. It is not living up to my expectations. Are we going to end up with the warmest January on record? Is climate change doing its thing? There are rumors from the weather people of snow next week. Be still my heart! Just now,…

  • Snow On The Porch

    Snow On The Porch

    Yesterday afternoon it snowed. To my eyes, backed with my wild imagination, it looked like we were having a blizzard. After all was said and done the snowfall measured a whopping 1/2 inch. So much better than nothing. The kid in me, delighted. January 16, 2021.

  • Winter Magic

    Magic. A long abandoned silky spider web. A burst of inches of snow. Decorations for a wonderful winter. Today’s lunch was accompanied with snow showers. Not enough to provide trimmings but enough to fill my heart with joy. And now, this afternoon, a tiny rush of snow looking like a miniature blizzard to someone with…

  • A Fresh Start And Spring

    A Fresh Start And Spring

    What a relief to get back to Tendrils and sharing my photographs with you. Much like many see winter a burdensome season, I felt isolated while this blog was on the fritz. Actually that is not how I see winter though. To me winter is a time of recalling childhood, sledding, snow-angels, snow days off from school,…

  • Snow Mountain

    This morning I was greeted by a tiny bit less than an inch of snow here on the mountain. I skipped yoga (!!) and spent the morning walking and enjoying the sounds of snow. Okay, mainly the sounds of birds enjoying the new, white blanket. Many were robins, and cedar waxwings gathering in the tree…

  • Winterberry

    I am in my element now. It is winter. I like to say, whatever season is happening at the moment – it is my favorite, but truth be told, winter is really my favorite. At least for the next few months! I love the stark landscape, very little color (with the exception of black, gray, white, and browns),…

  • Juniper Berries

        A pioneer tree or bush, depending on your thoughts, and its growing conditions, Eastern Red Cedar, Juniperus virginiana, is often one of the first to move into a field that has been cleared.   Eastern Red Cedars are actually Junipers. They play an important role in the lives of a long list of insects, birds…

  • Just An Inch

    Wednesday night, into Thursday morning, the weather forecast was for some rain, and maybe in the mountains a little snow.  Hooray for elevation!  It was beginning to stick when I hit the sack and Thursday morning I was greeted with an inch of snow on the grass.  Given all the talk of the rain/snow line…

  • Diamonds Of Ice!

      As I snuggled in my bed last night, I was prepared for nothing special in the weather this morning. Yesterday‘s forecast had been for snow, sleet and freezing rain.   Mother Nature skipped the snow part, and went straight to sleet, and it kept going, all day long. The temperature remained steady at 27…

  • Snow!

    I’m easily entertained. Give me a little snowfall and I’ll be elated for hours. I’ll become the little girl from so long ago. The little girl who grew up on the best sledding hill in Prince George’s Co., Maryland. Other things take me back to my childhood. Bicycling does it too. But snow provides the…
