Where has the time gone?

Spring and summer 2014 flew by so fast!  My garden this year was the best yet but I have only a few pics...

I will also include a couple of memories from 2013.  I must do better going forward.

I love these lilacs, when they bloom the scent is unbelievable.

Winter

St Francis

St Francis sits piously in the garden oblivious to the snow around him.  I actually had to dig out the 3 foot statue.  This year winter came early, first with heavy snow then the -35 C temperatures that settled in for days.  With the frigid temperatures the battery in my car died, thankfully I was on holiday and just stayed in until my brother-in-law came with a replacement.  Can't wait for spring, not sure how I will get through another 3 months of this!
