I look outside and everything is a blanket of white. While it’s nice to see a fresh blanket of snow on the ground (I mean rather than old slushy dirty snow), to be frank I’m getting darn tired of it.
I don’t hate winter. Heck, I live in Canada – born and raised in Ottawa (tied for coldest capital with Moscow) so there’s no way I’d survive here if I hated winter. However, here in Toronto the snow usually doesn’t stay.
It snows, lasts for a day or two and then melts away, or that’s the way it’s been for most of the time I’ve lived here … however the last two years have been snow, snow and more snow and to top it off it rained most of last summer. Hopefully you can’t blame me for being more than a little tired of dull grey skies and all the white stuff.
What I need is some color and I thought that some of my readers who are going through the same thing I am (snow, snow and more snow) might also appreciate a cheery flower.
So here’s a lovely daylily that I grow in my garden. it’s called Bonanza. I think the name suits this vibrant yellow flower – don’t you?
Now how’s that for some color?
BTW if you want to see another summer flower I have a great picture of my Clematis growing over a birdhouse on my gardening blog.
It doesn’t snow over here, so outside, everything is green. Wind’s a mite bit chilly though.

Lovely lily! I can relate to the grey skies and dreary weather. I don’t hate winter either, tho sometimes I express myself that way… I really just hate having to get out in it. I love to be able to snuggle in at home, let the weather do it’s thing, while we feed the fire, monch on soup and yum up on warm cookies and milk… play games and enjoy. I probably prefer the cold of winter over the heat of summer, just because winter, you can snuggle in and get warm.. in summer, you can only cool off so much.
Love the picture of the birdhouse and clematis – very pretty!
