About a week ago, my garden looked like this…

Lavender branches surrounded the sweet Buddha statue in a small corner of the garden. Leaves had fallen, of course, and the weather was kind of grey, and damp, as it so often is, here, on the shores of Lake Ontario, this time of year. It was, most definitely, still autumn.

And, then, last night, the snows came…

And, my garden transformed into a winter wonderland. And, the beautiful statue now wears a cloak of the finest snow Mother Nature can provide.

The peace of the garden remains, but the season of it has truly changed.

Apologies for being away for so long. I have had a continuing Internet challenge which is still not quite resolved. I am considering this pause in blogging as a gift of sorts from Old Saint Nick! How else to proceed? 🙂

Hoping, that wherever you may be for the holidays, you are having a wonderful, peaceful, joyful time.

Wishing you all the blessings of the season.
