I am delighted to hear that you enjoy the pictures, even though they mostly depict lifeless plants. Except for the rose, which is almost “freeze-dried” in the moment.<br />Your visits and kind words warm my heat at all times. Batcat sends his regards as well, he always enjoys the attention.:)<br /><br />xoxo<br />ZuzanaZuzanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02137958790178864561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-8956161521833599502010-01-17T17:51:09.128+01:002010-01-17T17:51:09.128+01:00Ah, Batcat!

Up to now it's been a reasonably mild winter, nothing below -20 which is surprising, and not more than 30 cm of snow on the ground, which is also surprising.<br /><br />But the end of January and the whole of February should change that in a dramatic fashion I expect. And with a bit of luck, the first half of March too.<br /><br />And we should have snow on the ground till the middle of April or even the end of April here...<br /><br />What a nice country!<br /><br />Roger G.Roger Gauthierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01690736289188945063noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6784042461030289587.post-23042630776985204902010-01-17T02:01:36.101+01:002010-01-17T02:01:36.101+01:00What a difference.
