Winter #1 - At Home in the Country

No, we don't have much winter here, and I haven't been out of the house since the day before Christmas, so I don't have any new pictures anyway.  But the Music Director at our church asked me for a few 'winter' pictures.  She produces videos with seasonal pictures put to music; she's done this with my pictures of spring and summer in the past.  

Don't know why I was so slow, but in a blinding flash of insight I thought I could share a few of these  pictures of past winters with all of you for at least a couple of weeks.  These are from 2015/16/17, back in the 'good old days' when winters were real!  Hope you enjoy them.

 We'll start right in our own back yard, at our previous home.  This is the view out the back window, a few yards of mown grass and beyond a large unmown meadow.

Off to the side was our main flower garden, under that arch and along a path.  Beyond the split rail fence is more of the 'working garden', with the shed I built.  (It took forever!)

Turning sideways and looking south is an old cedar bench that Mrs. F.G. bought as a garden 'ornament' - she's never sat on it.

Moving westwards now, there's another sitting area under the trees.  The lumpy snow-covered rocks in the background are an old stone fencerow.  I did really enjoy sitting here with my morning coffee.

An old apple tree.

Looking down the fencerow.

And at the feeder.  Even if we don't have real winter this year, at least I can write about it to keep you amused.
