Winter Hours

What can a New England girl do to while away the evening hours this long winter?
 
Sit in this white living room...


or this comfy white bedroom chair...


knitting and reading...


while dreaming of these branches...

blossoming into this...

The branches shown above were taken from a rare azalea bush in our yard.  I captured their blossoms in photos last spring. 

Right now I'm reflecting on and looking forward to spring awakenings, while freshening up our space...

 Hope to see you at White Wednesday in the meantime.

    Susan, what a beautiful living room and glimpse of your bedroom! Must make the Winter months seem not so long, in my opinion. Wishing you an early Spring, hugs, xoxo tami
