Since I got over my ‘chitis (bronchitis) I’ve been doing battle with one Dreaded Lurgy after another … however, today is Summer Solstice and the World has changed. (and may all my lurgys be behind me)
What a difference a few months makes.
The Winter Tree
… and … today, there’s a soft wind blowing, fat fluffy clouds (not the rainy kind – at last) scud overhead, and the sky is a brilliant blue.
The Summer Tree
Happy Solstice!

As a bonsai fanatic, I have a lot of trees, but most of them are only a few inches high. Not the same as having such a magnificent specimen

Long may the fluffy clouds and brilliant sun last and may the lurgies never return!

Looks like we’ve got a run of 27-30-ish degree (celsius) days coming up so I think we might get your wish. 🙂

The last winter (and spring) was a very long, cold and wet season in BC. Hopefully, the coming summer would be equally long and somewhat warmer. Much warmer.

But not too warm, cos then we’ll all start grumbling about how hot it is! 😀
This was my first winter here (13 years) where I actually experienced snow on the ground for more than a week. It was an experience, that’s for sure. 😀

Did your rosemary survive the winter? Glad to hear you did. 😊

Unfortunately Rosemary was a victim of the snow. Being covered for three months was too much for her. 😦

Trees are miracles in my mind. I love the magicalness of them.

Me too. 🙂 … when we first moved here the owner of the property was of a mind to do a radical prune when we intervened.
He was one of those owners of rental properties who can’t stand a leaf out of place … and I suspect he interpreted the fact that we were two ‘ladies of a certain age’ meant we were unable to do the gardening.
We quickly disabused him of both the notion of pruning the tree and wandering into our garden whenever he felt like it to rake some leaves or pull a few weeds.
I doubt he’d ever met women like us before. 🙂
