winter green



*all photos taken by me :) unless otherwise noted
Not to seem crabby, (even though my astrological sign is Cancer) but I usually find it extremely hard to feel 'sunny' in Winter. I get inspired for a few hours here and there, like when the house is clean, or when Hart is making me laugh hysterically and sweetly...but overall, I am a creature of Spring and Summer. Give me color or give me sleep! So this year I am honing my skills towards loving what is winter. I must admit, the hidden gem that I have found this Winter is time. I have more quiet pockets of time because I am not out chasing the day for yard sales, social events or daily hikes. Instead I find myself curling up with the early darkness and letting myself feel its natural limitations. We are supposed to slow down and feel the inward hush; or at least feel more cozy.  I feel lucky to have finally found this piece of the puzzle. Winter beauty. Winter quiet. Winter green.
