"Winter
came down to our house one night,
quietly pirouetting in
on silvery-toed
slippers of snow."
Bill Morgan, Jr.
As is often the case,
after a dark, dreary and sad day,
Mother Nature tends to her
winter business
and we awake
to a soft, quiet and serene world.
The butterfly bush
resembles a magnificent
ice sculpture that,
if the smallest twig is touched,
can shatter and fall to the ground
with the sound of a
million tiny
crystal bells.
Some new animals
have taken up residence in
the farmhouse kitchen...
...along with one little vignette
that calls us
closer to springtime...
...and another that
does the same...
...while a new plant
joins the existing group
that is still
alive and thriving.
Hope all is thriving
where you are and
you are managing
the business of winter.
...Judy...

ReplyDeleteHi Judy, I'm so ready for spring and thankful all the snow has been blown away by strong winds here in northern Co. Hope your snow goes away quickly too.

We should be getting the weather you are getting. Wow, what is happening. So beautiful though.
ReplyDeleteI am envious of your snow.
I love the fat pig picture, I love pigs. Does it help to put carrots in water? I have never done that before. Looks pretty on your table. You have so many neat things to read about and see.

I know long wither is very depressing... Your little Spring time collectibles are so cute
ReplyDeleteWe live in the "snow belt" in Oregon and is funny that you, in California, have another touch of winter, and we haven't had a flake for the last 2 weeks! I'm not complaining though.. not one bit. I look out at all my dead plants that were last year's lovely and colorful garden, and still have no desire to go out and work! I'm happy with the winter weather for now. Your little spring touches are so sweet. xoxoxo Marilyn
ReplyDeleteHi Judy,
ReplyDeleteWe are suppose to get snow this weekend here too. Ughh just wish Spring would come and stay.
We have not had snow since December so I really cannot complain too much. Just can't wait for Spring. Love your vignettes for Easter. So sweet.
Hugs,
Kris
That wintery picture is soooo pretty but looks soooo cold. Love your little vignette's
