The sun was trying to come out this morning, so I decided to go for a walk… what a silly idea that was! The wind got up when I was about 25 minutes from home, and as I reached a rather exposed hillside it started to rain, sleet and snow all at once! No shelter with the trees still bare, so the walk back was a rather wet one. And naturally, as soon as I got home the sun came out!
We’ve had windy wet weather on and off all day, so this photo was taken between showers…
The Hellebore loves the cool damp weather though!
How wonderful the colours of the plant and the scenery are. I painted an easteregg on my window to have some colours than white.
I just saw your weather on the news, Uta… hope it warms up for you soon! But I remembered the saying: Weihnachten im Klee, Ostern im Schnee! We may have another couple of cold weeks to go!
Pretty! And enough sun for shadows! Spring is on its way.
It’s taking its time, but it is on the way! 😉
looks lovely…we had at least 6 inches of snow, more to come with ide…cold here still
Everyone seems to be saying how long winter was this year… our news just reported that it hasn’t been so cold in the north of Germany at this time of year for 50 years!
That kind of walk makes you appreciate hot chocolate that much more!
You know, I considered hot chocolate, but settled for a large milky coffee instead! 😉
What strange weather. The photo makes it looks nice there. Beautiful hellebore Cathy.
Thanks Susie. The hellebore has done well this year and seems to have got established at last… it took about 4 years!
I can see spring in on the way! It’s teasing bits of sunshine are all the more to enjoy!
Absolutely! The sun is quite warm already – when it comes out!
Hope you’ve warmed up after your cold walk! Don’t know if I’m just looking for silver linings, but the hellebores and snowdrops here seem to have been flowering for longer than usual with all the cold weather.
I think you are right Sarah – my snowdrops have been around for weeks and still look good. They bounce back up each time the snow melts! 😀
The hellebore are beautiful!

They looked lovely with the raindrops on them! Thanks Linda!
We had a lovely morning here, but by two it was grey again! At least it wasn’t snowing today like it was yesterday! Very random weather. Your hellebore is lovely : )
Thank you Anna. Everyone seems to be getting a long winter this year. Wonder what the summer will bring! 😉
That sounds like something that would happen to me! It’s looking rather pretty over your way. I’m jealous as we’ve had no Spring rain yet….
The grass, moss and garden plants have been lucky this year, covered in snow most of the time since Christmas, and now rain. I can really see the difference to last year where we had such a dry and cold winter followed by a very dry spring. Hope your garden gets a drink soon too!
Lucky enough, we got rain last night!
😀
Looking good, I can see spring starting to stir…
Slowly, but surely… 😉
