Lily came with me to the lilac bush this morning and we had a serious talk with it.
“Don’t be putting out buds just yet!”
It’s going to happen again. Great enthusiasm in the garden for another early Spring. But look what happened to that last year…2020 that is:
“Look at us, look at us,” clamored the daffodils
Then on April 16th….
“Oh No!” said Willow as my lilac buds shriveled up.
A proper gardener might rush out to wrap the bushes up to protect the buds from late frost and snow.
But I am not.
We can only wait and watch what happens.
Which seems to be the way of things, these days.
Another misty morning.
The photograph, I decided makes a statement.
The dark, denuded trees are 2021
2022 lies beyond. The fields sunlit through a break in the clouds.
So that is my simple New Year’s wish for you:
May there be many breaks in the cloud.
That may be a simple New Year’s wish, but it is one of the best. Thanks, and same to you and your delightful clowder.
Thank you and best wishes to you and your wonderful group!
Happy New Year to you and the cats!!

Happy New Year C Smith… I always enjoy reading your blogs of your interesting past life and seeing the photos of your little piece of heaven that you have relocated to… tho for me maybe a little too rural! Hoping you stay healthy and your pre-existing ailments are not bothering you much anymore, and I wish you and all your companions a wonderful new year filled with more adventures! Bless you for caring for all the animals!
I am not able to not care for animals. All the best to you and your family. XX
What a lovely wish for 2022! Here’s to a healthy year for you … and many, many more beautiful photo’s and amusing conversations between you and the cats 🎉.
