mother nature granted us a slight winter respite recently and we spent as much time outside as possible. fresh air does wonders, i tell you. and even though we've since had another good dump of snow, a subsequent thaw followed by yet another dusting of the white stuff - even still, there is hope with longer days, more light, and plans for our garden. i have loved watching it rest under a thick white blanket of snow and then reappear with every thaw. it's that contrast that makes us appreciate both - the cold for the warm. the dark for the light.
today, however, will be spent indoors. in pajamas. the three of us sipping peppermint tea with a box of tissues nearby. we may even try to use up the last of the firewood as we all get over the bug that caught this house off guard. we will dream about getting back outside again very soon. in the meantime, it's warming to take in all the green that is out there this week! xoxo
