Oh so White!

This week has been extremely cold and snowy for Greece.

We are always looking forward to snowy days as it is something rather rare in our country, especially for those of us who live in central and southern areas.

When snow covers towns, hills and mountains, snowmen at all sizes and ‘outfits’ appear and families head to the closest park or open area, to play with it and have fun, because it doesn’t last for long.

Now that I am writing, the snow has already melted and it might not visit us again for yet another year. But it is still very cold and the mountains in the horizon are covered in icy white.

It is amazing how fragile flowers and buds survive the cold and icy veil of snow!
Look how pretty the almond tree buds and tiny, pink flowers  are .
Bright  yellow marigolds,  whose stems  appear from underneath their snowy cover , look determined to survive and dominate the landscape , in a few weeks when spring arrives.

Oh the beauty of nature ! 

 The deep red cyclamen petals contrast the whiteness of the snow in a pot outside my house.

I’m glad the weekend has arrived , because it is nice to spend some quiet time at home when it is freezing cold outside .

Also , don't forget, dear readers,  it is Carnival time , so put on your masks and fancy dress costumes and enjoy the weekend with your Valentine!!!!:)

My  love to you all  and thank you for your sweet comments. 

Till next time, 

Tina
