I've looked out this same window all summer and saw my beautiful Brug Alley. This was my view this morning. I want my Alley back!!!!
I want my Brug alley back. :(
I'll bet you do - snow is nice to look at from indoors but brugs are better. LOL
snowhermit, it is a shame....but you can look forward to next year's brug alley...
This is pretty to, but I agree brug's are better, that just makes me cold looking at it, I was just thinking about you today, I am glad you still have electric. The news was talking about people affected by this storm being out of power, some till Wed.
Thinking faster than my fingers!

At least when the brugs are out there you don't have to wear a coat and boots to enjoy them. I'm not looking forward to this situation at all.
Oh you poor thing! I so feel for you. I can't barely tolerate the cold. Add snow and ice and I'm over the edge. We're going down to 25 tonight. I finally got in the rest of the house plants.
Sending warm thoughts your way.

Just a couple of months ago. Sob!!!
snow it is pretty like it is. brugcrazy is right, you have the greenhouse and a houseful of brugs, right?
Snow, it's beautiful!! I love looking at snow(as long as it's someone else's or it melts in a day or two)We rarely get snow, I think it's beautiful. Can't you just hear the crunch crunch of your boots as you go out to feed the birds?
Brugcrazy is right, go sit in your GH and smell the brugs. You have two worlds at your disposal. I still love the site of the first heavy snow. Fireplace going, trees are covered, no one driven or walked on it. It is so fresh and clean. But then your brug alley was gorgeous.
Snow,
imagine that you never would have wintertime and all Brugs would flower each day a year....may be after some years having flowers each day you would walk and not take notice of your Brugs because they has been there for years.
Wintertime is time for looking forward for next spring.
Smile: I am each day in my GH to enjoy the last Brugflowers........
Wish you and all a good and very short wintertime.
GL
Ludger, you are so right. But it would take a couple of years to get tired of them I think.
Will you look at that! Beautiful!
Cala you are right, smile, many years......
Liz, I did till yesterday, today it turned to brown.
Iīve pollinate this flower, hope she will set a "winterpod".
The sang I got from Tonny seams to have a darkred flower( still not open...) I very look forward to this flower,smile.
Will send a photo as soon as open.
GL
Very pretty brug Ludger.
Yes the GH is nice but I have it cool so they can go dormant or slow their growing. The only one that has blooms is Mountain Mist. I think it will be a pretty steady bloomer next summer.
Post card pic. That is beautiful. Snowy places are nice to visit but I couldn't live there in it. I have lived in heat and humidity to long to change now.
Winterwonderland? Sigh! Its long long way to spring.......
Monika, Have you had snow yet? I'm already eager for spring.Yes, it's going to be a long winter.
It is a pretty picture, just not something I'm ready to deal with yet in Iowa. Hope all is okay there now.
Jeanne, in german its Winterwunderland My sigh was for whats still ahead of me, probably lots of snow, and cold.
I cant stand snow, we get too much of it and it stays too long. Winter 95/96 began in November with frost below -15°C and over 75cm snow. It stayed that cold until April.
The last Rhodo in my garden began blooming in August, because the ground was frozen until June. In that year, my alley trees became very cold feet. When I digged the holes, the sun had to thaw the ground up before planting.
Can I come together with Monika please.....I will to carry her bags........lol
Monika please dontīt throw stones to me....I know you donīt like to use an aircraft. We will take the ferry.
GL
Ludger, i think you should do an american brug tour. maybe when you get ready to leave, Monika and Tonny will come with you. just think what you can collect!!!!!!
Arlene, I īm thinking about this. May be I will really visit the States next or overnext year.
To fly is cheap but the hotels......I have to save more money before I will visit.
GL
Here in the states we would find a bed for you too!!
OH LOOK Jeanne.........is that ...oh my God............. is that really................. is it?? ............is it Monika on that ship............waving hi to you while you are in your garden???
Sleigh bells ring, are you listening
In the lane, snow is glistening
A beautiful sight, we're happy tonight
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
Gone away is the bluebird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song as we go along
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
In the meadow we can build a snowman
Then pretend that he is Parson Brown
He'll say are you married
We'll so no man,
But you can do the job when you're in town
Later on we'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we made
Walkin' in a winter wonderland
bring Tonny with you guys!!! and stop by and get Bruno and we'll have a big group meeting at Jeanne's house.
You bet, I wont be waving with my hands but have to bend with my head overboard, LOL.
lolol i think that's what i would be doing also!
Monika, I'd be right there with you. I just let a trip of a lifetime go by because I couldn't see spending over a week on a ship with my head over the side.
Monika, I've been there too. Don't like that feeling. I don't like to fly either, but would if I had to. The train is a nice way to travel if time allows, but I don't think our Amtrak would make it to Germany. :-)
Have a bed here for you in Florida and I would feed you too. LOL, everyone else is voluteering a bed but no mention of eats. You would probably want to come south first before it gets too hot, then make the trek up north.
