I love the winter to linger in a blanket, on an armchair and look out the window like the big, shiny snow falls. Drink boiled cinnamon wine, put a relaxing musical background.
In this winter season accept new beginnings, love more and stop a few minutes of excitement every day to appreciate every moment.
Some favorite quotes about the winter season:
"Winter is the time for comfort, for good food and warmth, for the touch of a friendly hand and for a discussion by the fire: it is time to be home." - Edith Sitwell
"What good is the warmth of summer if it is not winter to remind us of its sweetness." - John Steinbeck
"The one who wonders the beauty of the world in summer will find equal grounds for amazement and admiration in the winter. During the winter the Stars seem brighter, the moon more triumphant, and the skies nearer than ever." - John Burroughs
"Although we are attached to the warm summer months, the winter forms our characters and reveals the best we have in ourselves." - Tom Allen
I love that unique moment when you feel like you can smell the cold and cool winter air.
With moments spent in silence and hope, with short days and evenings around the fire, everything turns, and time moves slower than usual.
Pictures made in my garden. I hope you enjoy it.
