QUOTES| Winter

Winter can be magical when the snow has newly fallen and the sky is blue.

Winter is a time of renewal. It provides the stillness that we need to ready ourselves for the busy seasons that lie ahead: Spring, Summer and Fall.

We can freely lounge under a blanket in our pj’s and watch Netflix.                 Or grab a good book and snuggle up by the fire.                                                       We might sit by a sunny window sipping a hot drink watching the birds.       Or grab the dogs and trudge through the snow.                                                       We might pour through a garden book and pick out our perennials.                     Or take up a new hobby like painting.                                                                         We might find inspiration to organize our closets.                                                   Or decide to write in our journals.                                                                                 We might call and old friend to catch-up.                                                                   Or pour over magazines for design inspiration.

I find inspiration as the snow covers the world in a blanket of beauty. It looks to me like little mink coats covering the bear branches of the trees. I love the sound of the snow crunching underneath my feet. I feel refreshed breathing in the cool air. 

I hope you are savoring this season and seeing it’s beauty. We have had many wonderful warm spring like days here in Upstate NY. I even got some cleanup yard work out of the way. As wonderful as that respite was; I am embracing the snowfall today.
