Julaften. En av årets mørkeste dager, og samtidig den lyseste lyseste. Gud ble menneske og kom til jorden som en av oss. Fattig, sårbar, som den aller minste.
Midt på dagen vandrer jeg litt rundt i hagen med kameraet mitt og til min overraskelse finner jeg flere tegn på at livet overvinner både kulde og mørke. Helleborusen blomstrer, og inne i det kalde drivhuset titter de første snøklokkespirene så vidt fram.
Gledelig jul ønskes alle hagevenner.

The storm passed over us during the night. We could hear the wind and the rain though the tiny bit open bedroom window. We are quite sheltered here where we live though, so the only damage the storm did this time was to blow down a bird house.

For a few weeks during the winter The Blue Garden is completely without sun.
Then, slowly, slowly, the sun comes on visits. Shortly in the beginning, then longer and longer stays as we walk towards spring.
We slept long, very long this morning, after a dinner with friends last night. This lead to a late, very late breakfast, and while we were sitting at the breakfast table, I saw it......the sun played hide and seek outdoors.
I ran upstairs to my studie to grab my camera, continued outside, and managed a few shots of the sun says.
Yes, we are truly getting longers days,
yes, we are truly heading towards spring and thaw........
...eventually.

Darkness has fallen and I am reading
