More Snow

 We got another dump of snow last night. Look at that piled up snow on the lawn swing!!
Our winters seem to be getting colder and we are also getting more snow than in previous years. We,here in the Fraser Valley, are considered to be zone 7  (0 to10 F,  -18 to -12C ) but I think from now on when I shop for perennials I'll make sure they are hardy to zone 6 (-10 to 0F, -23 to -17C ).
Hopefully I won't have too many plants that don't survive this winter.

 


 Sorry about yesterday's post and just to prove that we're doing fine here we are__ my DH and myself with Callum (oldest grandson) and Kate ( oldest granddaughter).


Thanks for visiting today,  Granny M.

  1. My goodness you are getting a lot of snow! We're supposed to be -10F Saturday night and they just posted a Winter Storm Watch for Saturday. I plan on staying inside.
    That is a wonderful photo of you and your family. It's so nice to have a face to go with the words on a blog.
    Blessings,

  3. We are experiencing the opposite of you as far as winter weather is concerned. We're used to snow in mid-November that lasts til mid-April. We remember our children wearing snowsuits over their Halloween costumes and Easter finery! January always brought many days of -10 to -20 degree temps, but no more. We get snow but not the piles and piles of old and thankfully the temps are more mild. We've returned to many a frozen pipe after being away for Christmas. Global warming I guess. Glad you are all safe and well and doing fine. Happy New Year!

    Here still we have rain and all snow is going away, what a pity!! But we have to live with the weather, also all the creatures. I hope, your plants will survive.
