These are the piney woods I've been showing you recently. This shot is from the vineyard road looking toward the woods. You can see that it's not a forest, just a small stand of pines on the edge of the vineyard.
The piney woods.
I took this picture during one of the recent, and rare, breaks in this winter's overcast. I noticed yesterday that the daffodils and tulips are poking up now. If we're lucky, in another month it will feel like spring.
I was looking in my photo archives, and see that in mid-March (only a little over a month away!) last year, I had daffodils and hostas and Star Magnolias and hyacinths all in bloom! It's sure hard to believe that is around the corner!
Starman - I'm thinking visions of a mystery in England! There aren't any flowers I've noticed coming up around here. The primroses are usually the first to sprout up - but none lately that I've noticed.
Living outside of Saint-Aignan-sur-Cher since 2003. You'll find here pictures and descriptions of our daily life in rural France, some travels, and other stuff about me, my husband Ken, and our dog Tasha.

ReplyDeleteI don't know why,, but the phrase "piney woods" conjures up visions of hillbillies and hound dogs.

ReplyDeleteanne marie, normal winters are mild for us. We get a little cold and snow, but a lot is unusual.
ReplyDeletejudy, vivement le printemps !

mary, we have cyclamen blooming in the yard and the primroses are starting.
