Winter Trees










Hello again. How are you? Last time here we had snow and I was feeling a bit worried, although seeing the heavy blizzard in the East Coast in America, what we had was nothing. Nothing! Anyway, it was almost all gone by Monday morning and we've been snow-free since then. Today we had sunny, spring-like weather and it was really lovely. Unfortunately we weren't able to enjoy it much. My husband was working and I spent most of the day cleaning and tidying away the things from last night's pop up restaurant. We had another one last night - our third - and it went really well, but we're always so knackered afterwards. Good thing my husband truly enjoys the cooking and everything and we're making some profit, so it is worth the hard work. Even then I am very glad he's off work til Tuesday; we need the next two days to recover.

The photos here were from my walk at a local park near school on
 Wednesday morning. I love winter trees. I usually feel a bit sad when
leaves start falling in autumn because it signals the end of summer and the start of colder, shorter, darker days. But after awhile I get used to
the changing season and naked tree branches like these become familiar
and beautiful. They are one of my simple wintry pleasures.

It's early-ish bed time for me here. I hope you've had a good week and
it's been a lovely weekend. I feel mine is just about to start. Thanks
for your visits here, as always, and to new readers, hello and welcome!
