A Winter Wonderland

Although Winter starts the 21st of December,
A Nor'easter has dumped approx. 20cm (8in.)
This 27th Day of November in Gaspe
We were fortunate here,
 Further East the Atlantic Provinces were harder hit. 
causing power failures and closures
Temperatures -1 C or 8 F

Ready for Winter

A beautiful Fall day here today.
 I spent most of it outside, preparing for Winter.
A heavy snow fall in the forecast for tomorrow.
Decorated with Cedars, Rowan Berries and Barberries

Colorful - Perennial Geranium

Flower beds covered over with Burlap
The 2 red shrubs in the back are Barberry



Bushes protected from heavy snow
(Last Spring)....I didn't cover my shrubs last winter.
However, they did recover.
.I use pickets in the ground to
 anchor the netting around the shrubs
Available at the Dollarstore
The strong winds will lift the netting of and blow it away.

I will leave these solar light there this winter. They help anchored my Burlap.



All Done
Blackbirds


In search of my mother's garden, 
      I found my own.
