I'm having a cold, rainy Saturday but I'm planning to enjoy it.
I feel this way too about fall and winter.

Thank you for the print, it's charming. Somebody once told me that if you love the countryside in winter as well as the other seasons, then you are a true nature lover. I do, and I think that must be you, too, Rosemary!
Tasha T -- Tasha, You can see the lay of the land and great distant views once all the leaves are off the trees. I have always loved winter views, bare trees, and stark landscapes and am so happy I found this quote. I'm glad you are a nature lover too. xo, Rosemary
The title of the print certainly fits--she is a beautiful gardener!
I truly enjoy the change of seasons. We live in a rural area, and there's always something interesting to see. Lately, I've noticed how rich and deep the colors of the sky are at dawn and dusk, when compared to the more neutral colors of winter. Mother Nature never lets me down!
Pam -- You are definitely attuned to the wonders of Mother Nature in all of her seasonal glory. I think you are fortunate to live in a rural area where you can appreciate the change of season. I agree there's always something to see. I will have to notice the sky at dawn on the days I get up early instead of concentrating on making my coffee. xo, Rosemary
