Blooming Friday: Last Bloom

According to the weather forecast, we’re going to have below zero degree Celsius temperature this weekend and the days after that. So I guess these will be our last blooms for this year before frost sets in.

Well, I hope winter won’t be too cold this year. We had a relatively clement spring and autumn and an almost rain-free, very sunny summer, so I’m thinking winter would be bone-chilling and really icy.


On the other hand, in my experience, frosty morning usually means clear skies and some sun by mid-morning until mid-afternoon. I actually prefer this kind of weather to the rainy, bleak, days of late autumn.


And maybe we’ll have some snow for Christmas! This will be Felix’s (our cat) first winter and I hope he would enjoy the snow. White Christmas and Felix running after snow flakes could make the holidays seasons a lot brighter *smiles*.
