ready for winter. . .





our bees are hard at work
repairing and refilling the comb
while the nectar still flows

busy preparing their hive
so they can huddle within
for the winter months

on these sunny autumn days
we have been busy too
preparing in our own way

chopping and stacking firewood
washing the winter woollens
working the knitting needles

 : :

i think I'm ready
for the winter retreat

  5. Yes beautiful pics indeed. May the sun keep shining as bright as those sunflowers all through winter. I am so not ready for it! I'm dreaming already of our winter escape.

  11. It is so strange how we are all so opposite. My body yearns for summer, for that hot sun on my skin! I can't believe you're gearing up for winter! Enjoy it, though :)

  14. Lovely detailed photos. I love preparing for Winter. The shorter, cooler days, the morning fogs and the growing pile of firewood (thanks to hubby).
