Deep winter, July 2015







Seven in the morning.  It's minus 4 centigrade. Yesterday morning it was minus 6. Really cold and beautiful. Even the dog hesitated before going out. His nose, my nose, both numb.



We waited for the sun to rise before going out for our walk.



   It was still very cold!



The marigolds have kept blooming as the winter has been mild until a few weeks ago.




 




 
 




It was icier, more frosted and slippery, outside our protected garden. We had to walk very, very carefully.
