The last day of January

January ended on a rather mild note. The ground is frozen but the sun was out, and it gave some nice heat too. We took the horses out for a drive and ride, as we have done for the last Saturdays. Here we are:



Little Gabriella is a very pretty pony, isn't she:



Here's Truls. I usually let this girl ride him on our Saturday trips, since I can't both ride and drive at the same time:



We've got no colour outside, bar that purple hellebore and the single snowdrop, but we've got a bit of colour inside. This is my youngest girl's amaryllis:



We bought six lovely primroses last week-end. Four of them collapsed promtly, but these two are still going strong:





The mornings have been very nice lately. I like the golden clouds:

Gabriella is such a dainty little lady Droopy and Truls looks just the part for a hack. I have an amaryllis that is about to open so, thankfully, I'll soon have some colour too.

I like your equine pals Droopy.

P.S we had some snow in Malmö this morning. Maybe it's on the way to you now :)

Looks like a wonderful outing on a beautiful day! We'll have to wait and see if the groundhog sees his shadow tomorrow morning...I'm hoping for an early spring.

We've been very lucky with the Saturday weather in January, and I'm just hoping February will be just as good.

Your countryside is beautiful even without the flowers. I can't believe January is over all ready. One twelfth of the year over. We've been in Texas two months now and it is beginning to feel like home. I hope your February has some snow if you wish or stays nice so you can dig in the dirt. dooley

The horses are pretty and you must enjoy them so much. Thanks for the photos of the lovely Primroses in their spring colors. Don't you love those days of reprieve from winter? We had one today.

I think every season has it's charm, and I've missed the winter snow. But I have to confess that being able to drive on the roads on lovely days really could get me used to these kinds of winters. *lol*

Your horses and flowers are just gorgeous.
I have the same Amaryllis. Same colour, the works. Lovely. Tell me - do you force them into dormancy?
I have never tried primrose before and yours are so lovely I might become inspired.

Thanks all for lovely comments. :)

Palm Tree, I'm going to try and do that if we manage to keep them going through summer. The girls will like the experiment, and it's not very hard to do either.

I'm very fond of primroses. Without primroses, no proper spring.
