Eventually when there is new growth coming back, it will be interesting to see if the plants and flowers are the same as they were. Your post was a wonderful read.

Changes, down our street a section was levelled., gravel laid down, and two older homes were relocated there., no doubt to be for rent. Rental accommodation is scarce, so these will be a good addition. Christmas lights, guess there are lots here too, but we don't drive at night now.Love the spider Lily, seasons are so different.We have 9C this morning at 6.30 a.m. I am almost in winter tops and pants again.I remember when I was a child summer started in November and went through till late March,Hay was made, cool drinks every day, and the ground was so dry and cracked in places.Nancy Jhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11854698513524662527noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-36666670409666678202019-12-21T09:24:02.285-08:002019-12-21T09:24:02.285-08:00Ah, Julie !!

It prompted me to read your last post and I was a little spellbound. We have just had to go through the same thing with our 12 year old German Shepherd who also was a rescued dog. Like us, I believe you did the right thing and I am so sorry for your loss. I too will be finding hairs for many months I know. :)Jocelyn is Canadian Needle Nanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11770193529950365462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5175671672721833449.post-52915809496670119012019-12-21T04:14:26.354-08:002019-12-21T04:14:26.354-08:00I am intrigued that weather in Japan seems a lot l...I am intrigued that weather in Japan seems a lot like weather on the East Coast in the US. We had a very strange Fall. In fact, my Japanese Maple never dropped its leaves and there they sit all brown and shriveled and now covered with ice. Other leaves didn't fall until well into November. It was unusually warm and now unusually cold! I read somewhere that the north pole is shifting??? I drove home through a snow squall the other day that was amazing! You could see it coming and suddenly I was engulfed in large snow flakes swirling all around. The ground was covered in only a few minutes. Thankfully, the highway department had used enough salt to melt a glacier so the road did not get too slippery.<br />Your pictures of the lights are beautiful!<br />So sorry that your neighborhood is changing so much. That is hard to deal with especially when nature is taken away.<br />Enjoy your visitors! Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!Sewfunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10208837650642111892noreply@blogger.com
