Spreading the warmth



I know, I know...I can hear you all shaking your heads and muttering, "Doesn't that woman know it's winter? What's the deal with this pictures?"

Yes, I know it's winter. Believe me, I know. Actually there's no way to forget Old Man Winter as I do the daily bundle: coat, gloves, scarf, boots. And all just to go from the house to the garage! So believe me, I'm aware that it's cold outside.

But inside my mind's eye, it's summer. Or spring at least. The sky is blue and clear, grass grows beneath my sandaled feet and my winter bundling clothing is packed neatly in the coat closet. Birdsong wakes me and the sweet scent of peonies, moonflowers and lilies wafts through my open windows, lulling me to sleep at night.


Ah, the glorious worlds we can create when we let ourselves! Even in winter's icy grip, sun shines in one small blot on the northeast's otherwise-desolate landscape.

Just thought I'd share it with you. Enjoy!

Oh, I love the pictures - makes me forget it's only 20 degrees outside!

Gorgeous photos! Reminds me that warm weather is coming. Um, sometime...like in a few months, right? Ugh. I hate winter.

Good job with the web page. Love the flowers. My Day Lily is out in bloom and it's a red one with yellow markings. It's stinking hot over here in Oz. I'd love to see some snow!

Pretty new layout!

And, I am SO READY to get out into my garden. Too bad I live in New Hampshire.

Gorgeous pix.
