If you don’t ever sit and allow yourself to mindlessly gaze out your window, just look what you end up missing.



So, go on. Go grab one of those sofa throws, find a comfy chair, and gaze. It might actually yield pretty nice results.
When the sun hasn’t shown it’s lovely face for days and it feels like the cold has soaked all the way to your spine, there is nothing like that bright dot of red that is so alive.
I wish a cardinal for you today. Or perhaps an equivalent. I really do.
Thanks from the bottom of my heart, Mr. Cardinal. Come again.
Just a few moments of enforced quiet. It leads me to prayerfulness and contemplation. I find my moments are all lined up one after the other. Orderly, and yet not rushed or overly busy.
Puts me in a mind to start planning a spring garden. Not because I’m not enjoying this season, but because when spring rolls in it will be too late. Nothing more hopeful and giddy than planning a garden whilst wearing slippers and sipping hot cocoa.




What are your outdoor/spring garden plans? I would love to hear what you all’s plans are and what types of vegetables, berries, and flowers you adore come warmer weather.
