The season of perfumes

Lots of flowers blooming at the moment and along with our amazing mountain views while swimming at the pool we are getting all these wonderful scents.  Yesterday afternoon we were sitting out on our patio and were enjoying another wonderful perfume.  We thought it was from the neighbour's since we don't have many flowers other than a couple of "volunteers" that have been around and don't have a scent.  Then,  we realized it was the blossoms on our tangelo tree!   Lots of blooms so I think we'll have  another bumper crop of oranges in the Fall/Winter.

 Orange blossoms.


 These purple flowers have been blooming since we arrived in late October.

Update:  Just got an email from Linda in Surrey and they have more than a foot of snow!  Doesn't look like English Bay has much snow…just took this webcam shot.  I wonder how "Mt. Dunbar" is doing….John?
