It’s seriously wintry in my garden this week. Hard to believe it was almost 10am when I took these photos, and it was relatively bright this morning compared to some recent days.
The apple tree is just a gnarly skeleton holding up some forlorn looking party lights.
No idea then what this little buddy is up to. My maple is all confused and is sprouting buds.
Not yet, little fella, wait awhile. You must be thinking spring is coming, when I can assure you there are a few more frosty days ahead.

Joining up with Mammasaurus this week and How Does Your Garden Grow?
Ah the bulbs look so lonely on there – there really do need some leaves for company now.At least your maple is showing signs of colour – I have a tiny Acer here that looks like I have stuck a bare stick in the ground!
Thanks for joining in and sharing again – fingers crossed for sunshine soon x
My hydrangeas have the dead twig look too. Bit worrying isn’t it. Crossing my fingers the acer hasn’t peaked too soon 🙂
i bet that apple tree looks beautiful at night when the lights are on
Love that last photo. I bet your tree looks beautiful with the lights lit, they do look a little sad on the bare branches during the day.
It’s weird isn’t it all this Spring activity when I’m sure we have snow to come! I bet you’re apple tree looks amazing in the Summer 🙂
Those bulbs are asking for a winter party. Wrapped up friends sipping mulled wine beneath the branches… sigh.
When the garden looks all barren its hard to believe everything will covered in fresh shoots come spring. I hope your maple isn’t too confused!
I know, it’s so dead out there at the moment. Fingers crossed the maple survives!
my maple is confused to i have tiny buds but yours are massive already i hope the frost wont kill it to much
I’m praying to the garden gods 😉
I still love lit up lights in a bare tree – it seems to make the trees happier and nicer looking though! Hope your maple holds up – are they resilient?
Not too sure how resilient they are. Last winter didn’t kill them though and there was a lot of snow and frost. Only time will tell I guess. Thanks for stopping by x
