Though the calendar says that it’s almost spring, this winter soul just cannot let go of winter. It’s neither time to take down the winter wreath, nor to bring in the porch table centerpiece. Not yet.
You see, winter is the season of camellias, and they are in full bloom on Dream Tree Bayou.
I took a little walk around to gather a few of the beauties who surrounded me. I don’t know the names of all of the varieties on the property, but the builder of the house was a forester and his wife was a horticulturalist. They included almost one of everything, it seems.
Perhaps they knew that one day this would be my house, and that no one feels more at home among the trees than I.
So I’ll not say goodbye to winter quite yet. I’ll just bring a bit of winter cheer indoors and cherish it a while longer.

Dearest Stacy,
Glad you enjoy your Camellias. We can’t enjoy anything right now. Running the wet vac in Pieter’s workshop. We need to get a new roof and wider gutters with more pipes down so it will not spill over the way it does now. Tough life but it will stop one day… Hugs to you,
Mariette

I love your Camellia’s. They make a beautiful bouquet. The lace table runner is very pretty, as is your door wreath. Only a true Southerner would want to hold on to winter. The rest of us are done. xoxo

I suppose so, Karen. (You just made me smile!) ❤

Those are beautiful, as is the wreath.
But at this point, I’ve had more than enough winter.
Stacy said:
I know, Guap. I can only stand it this long because it’s so mild down here. <#

Stacy, Your camellias are stunning! Isn’t it nice. Here on St. Simons Island, Georgia, the camellias are giving way to some gorgeous azaleas. How about you? ~Terri

So far it’s still a little too cool for azaleas – I’d give it another month or so.
Thanks for visiting! ❤

Can it still be *winter* when there are these beautiful flowers growing outside, Stacy? Methinks not. It MUST be spring in your neck of the woods. It must!

It would seem like it, but camellias only bloom when it’s cold….and I know “cold” is a relative term! ❤
