On a cold day like today, January 23rd, I find consolation in looking at my garden pictures taken from last summer and the summers before. During the gardening season, I make sure to take plenty of photos of my flowers and other people's gardens to keep me happy during the cold months. I find myself checking more and more of gardening websites and also a lot of Pinterest where they have wonderful sites and pictures to show us. Are you a gardener too?

We only do a veggie garden. I look at pool photos to cheer me up.

I have a lot of pool photos from years before. We sold that property years ago and here we do not have a pool. I sure miss it tough.

@marlina At least you have some photos of it to remember. My husband has always had a pool since he was a kid. Until we got married I had one at the condo where I lived...so we're both pool people.

Your picture is beautiful and a good reminder that spring and summer will come again. I'm only a gardener in my dreams. The flowers are beautiful there, a wide variety. However, in real life, I can't grow anything.

When I first started gardening, I used to almost pass out when seeing a worm!

@just4him Yes, the worms do not bother me anymore, but I still don't like them.

@marlina That is funny. My father is a fisherman so I have seen many worms and put many on the ends of fishing lines. I also see a lot of worms after a storm. They never bothered me. I take it you can handle worms now

Seeing your flowers is a welcome sight today as we're having a blizzard here and the snow is just getting higher and higher.

I always enjoy your garden pictures. I used to have a vegetable garden. Now, just flowers and herbs.

Winter is a good time to look back at what was successful last year in your yard and what you might consider trying this year in your yard. Plus it's something to help give us something to look forward to during these cold gloomy months.

That photo looks like a cross between a leaf and a flower. It is beautiful though. We live in an apartment. So no space for garden. But my mother has a beautiful kitchen garden.

Also, I like to look at pictures of old houses with personality. Nothing to do with the weather, though.

I love to garden but haven't been able to in several years. I do have some flowers that I took pictures of when we last lived in a house and I do look at them from time to time.
