Although it does snow on the prairie in the winter, for the most part winter is brown not white. Christmases, too, are rarely white on the prairie and so when Thursday we got first rain, then sleet and finally snow, the White Christmas that everyone yearns for came to be.
The breakfast room looks out over the back garden and it was transformed from winter brown to winter white.

We have several feeders at Linderhof as well as a heated bird bath. The potting shed sits in the corner wearing a hat of snow.

We throw seed on the ground for the ground feeders -- the juncos, the doves although other birds will also feed on the ground.

We enjoy the garden in all seasons but think that the winter garden with it's covering of snow is magical.

Your garden does look magical and so many items of interest :-) Happy New Year to you all.
Your garden looks lovely and when there is snow it looks even better.
Happy New Year
I love your yard and all the outdoor decor. I'm sure the birdies love you too.
Happy New Years.
I enjoyed peeking into your snow covered back yard!
...waterfront in my favorite day trip destination!
Oh yes, winter white is much superior to winter brown!
It does look nice powdered with that snow!! A very Happy New Year to you and yours!!
What a difference a little snow can do for our garden. It really made yours a picture of winter wonder land.
It is great to appreciate the garden through the seasons. Snow does improve the picture from brown to white. Can't wait to see your backyard in the spring. --Delores

Even in Winter it is gorgeous!
I want one!
Maybe we can get more accomplished garden wise if I have my hubby home that time of year, hard for me to keep up with everything!
