Frost and sunshine

A cold but beautiful day today.
Frost in the far field rendered the sheep invisible.
We set to work to prune the fruit trees.
Moss and lichen on the tree trunks give a good indication of the sort of weather we get!
We have a big ball of mistletoe growing on the Bramley apple tree and there are plenty of berries on it this year - I hope the birds will leave enough for me to bring some into the house at Christmas.
Some of the prunings, but more to come.

    3. This is why I enjoy blogging, to see gardens and life lived in different ways from my own - and I'm VERY envious of your sunshine! (I do appreciate that long spells of dry, hot weather bring their own problems but it is SO dark and wet here at the moment.)

  2. Oh, that moss! A bit of that sort of weather wouldn't go astray in my neck of the woods these days. It didn't seem so long ago that your garden was in its full flush. Where did those months go?

    1. A share around of weather would suit me just fine!

    1. Frost and sunshine is beautiful. Frost without sunshine is another matter entirely!

    1. We are lucky to live near woodland. It changes dramatically with the seasons and is always lovely. The garden, on the other hand, is now looking very bedraggled.

  5. That's a LOT of work Rosemary! It looks cold out there from the photos you took!

    1. We do the pruning in stages because it's rather hard on the neck muscles!
