At this point it seems that winter is never ending. It has been quite nippy here of late, down to -26 C at worst. On top of it all it is even snowing today. Truth be told I am getting a wee bit tired of winter, and long for spring.
I know it will be a long wait, but what better way to spend a Sunday afternoon than sitting by the fire, reading gardening books, whilst dreaming of spring. Monty Don is my gardening guru, he is so knowledgable and I totally enjoy his writing.
The cherry branches I brought indoors in early January never really made it to full blossom. The tender buds turned brownish before opening up properly. So into the compost they went yesterday, to be replaced by these small pussy willows.
Now they have not exactly reached the desired fluffy softness yet, but I live in hope. Just as I live in hope that this winter will come to an end, and that there indeed is light, warmth and spring at the end of this long winter tunnel.

I remember as a child growing up where winters didn't end until late April/early May. Spring was slushy. I'm glad those days are past.
I hope you get some nice Spring weather soon enough. At least you have some buds on trees. Now that is something.
Høres ut som du har en fin søndag, kos deg!

Ja, det var jammen meg kaldt å ankomme Norge fredag kveld....
Men, så snør det også i Italia.
Nydelig bilder hos deg, deilig farger som vel minte meg om vår?
Den kommer - det er bare å smøres seg med litt tålmodighet ;)
god søndag !
It's not as cold in Texas today as you are in Norway, but as a fellow gardner, I'm sitting by the fire and paging through my gardening books. Plans are already in the works for spring.
Your white couch with the floral pillows on it looks especially pretty!
Jeg gleder meg over snøen som kommer, og i morgen kommer det mer. kanskje får vi skiføre snart. Har vært ute i det friske været og kjørt akebrett med tanteunga i dag, og det var herlig! Ha en fin søndag videre.
Nydelige, deilige vårfarger!! :-) Det er så koselig hos deg! Ønsker deg en fin søndag! KLEM
You always have so wonderful pictures and colors in your house.
Have a nice evening love Tina
I like very much your nice blog and living in cold Russia i understand you very good about winter and waiting for spring) This weekend we had only -21 degree)))))) But i belive too that spring is coming)
I saw you on Pondside's blogroll and came over for a visit. The colours in your home are so fresh and spring-like. Given that spring is still a long way off, you've provided a beautiful blast of colour.
Your beautiful room with it's colourful cushions,crochet and pretty china brightens up a cold Winter's day for me! :0)
I too am longing for spring! Was just thinking this morning wish I could put on a pair of shorts and dig in my flowers. Your beautiful spring colors are so pretty and looking at gardening books is a good idea to help while away the winter blahs! Happy Sunday! Love your blog!
Spring WILL come. But for now, stay cozy and warm in your bright and pretty home, and dream of gardening and flowers.
Det er jammen ikke mye vinter inne hos deg ihvertfall...så herlige og fargerike bilder!!
Men er enig med deg, nå når vi har kommet over på rett side av julen, tenker vi at våren nærmer seg. Håper at det blir en mild og fin mars...
Ønsker deg en fin ny uke, klemmer fra meg
It has been an extremely long winter here in Alaska as well, so my heart goes out to you!! We have been having really cold weather this year, down to 25 below zero, but this morning I woke up to a very warm 38 degrees....Old man winter is losing his grip thank goodness. I know it's still not time for spring, but the warmth sure feels wonderful, hopefully it will drift your way!!!
I love your living room it's so cozy looking! Enjoy your gardening book and dream some dreams for me to!!
Hugs,
Chris :o)
Mia - how do you heat your home in -26 deg?? I can't even imagine how cold that must feel! Your home looks so pretty, peaceful and warm though.
Dear Mia,

Beautiful, beautiful, home you have! I love it. Thank you for sharing.
Hello There!
I love your site!!! your blog is so beautiful and so inspiring. It is freezing in England too at the moment, but nothing like Norway. Looking at your blog makes me want to start crocheting a nice big blanket, even though spring is around the corner. Could I please ask you which pattern are using for your ripple blanket? it is sooo pretty and very soft...unlike many other patterns I have seen.
Many thanks,
