Over the past few days, we've gone from really cold weather to thaw, slush and ice here. Lots of daily reports about really slippery conditions and road accidents for the whole area - and definitely not looking good for walking just outside my own windows either. It's four days in a row now that I've just been staying in. (Haven't even been out to the bins since Monday...)
The best I can hope for just now is really that it will keep on raining and thawing until the old snow is all gone, before it starts over...
Meanwhile, indoors, I have continued to take down most of my holiday decorations. But the electric candles and window stars will stay up for a while yet; and I usually also keep some red table runners and other textiles until mid February or so - for a warmer feeling while it's cold and colourless outside.
Yes, we need light and color in the winter. I love the multi-reflection of your candles!
ReplyDeletethat is beautiful and I would leave it until spring. its so warm and cozy and I love it..
ReplyDeleteMuch better to stay indoors than to risk a fall on treacherous ground, when you don't absolutely need to go out.
ReplyDeleteIt's been so early-spring-like here these past few days that I really find it quite odd when I come to my Mum's where much of her Christmas lights are still around, and the stars in her windows. But it is forecast to turn cold again this weekend, although as far as I am aware no snow is expected.
