Looks like we are going to have a white winter this year! Some years it doesn't really start till Jan but we are early this year.

Gorgeous pictures. Pete and I were just looking at them. It does look like you got about a foot. I can visualize myself making a snow angel in that beautiful white stuff . . . I know I could not resist!

I like the geese photo very much.

How come the fern stayed green?

The ferns do stay green (like grass does) all winter, but in the spring when the new growth comes out the old ferns fall away.

I like snow like this too - very pretty!

great photos. i love how your snowball tree looks like actual snowballs in the snow.

here, our version of that plant is only ever bushes, never a tree, so i am always fascinated by it. i bought my mum a really nice version a couple of years ago but it died last winter. it was a very cold winter, lots of plants died, i suppose hers hadn't been in the ground long enough, or it might have been because it was against a north facing wall. booes.

I guess there are different types of hydrangeas. This one is a "pee gee" and can withstand quite cold temps - it actually can't even grow in southern climates. Maybe you had one of the more southern ones - I think they are more bush-like too. My dad nicknamed this one the snowball bush so we call it that - but I think there really is another type of bush called the snowball bush.
