Song - In A Sentimental Mood by Duke Ellington & John Coltrane
The sky's are white and my garden is mostly white this time of year.
The garden still has a few white roses holding on for as long as they can.
I do love to grow Paper-white Narcissus indoors until they become so tall that they can no longer hold up their fragrant little heads. I replant them out in the garden for next years display.
White Primroses are spread through out my garden in the winter and my little white Snow Drop flowers are already blooming!
But every winter I get a little sad......maybe it's the gray sky's or too much indoor time.
My garden is resting for the season. Well kind of.....as some spring flowers are already to bloom, but the trees are bare and most of the yard is still.
The animals have burrowed in to their homes and life seems to slow down.
Mika has burrowed onto my lap just happy to be watching me write this blog! - Well, she is a sweet winter white too!
It is the natural cycle of life.
And it is a time for us and nature to renew our energy for the upcoming spring.
By lighting a few candles and curling up by the fire with a good book or wonderful music is what renews me. What about you?
Hot tea or Chocolate?
Flannel sheets on the beds?
Cozy slippers?
Warm meals and laughter with friends and family?
Long walks on a crispy trail?
Filling up the feeders for the hungry song birds?
Journaling, sketching, planning next years vegetable garden?
Baking or cooking?
What fills up your well?

“Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a talk beside the fire: it is the time for home.” - Edith Sitwell
