Some simple pleasures making me smile on these bitterly cold winter days.
: : Freshly baked bread. So delicious.
: : Winter blooms with perfect colours and papery petals.

January has been and gone. For me, it is the calm after the storm. Quiet times to recharge and plan adventures for the year ahead. And now February is here, bringing some welcome sunshine. An icy wind blows everyday here and looks set to stay for a while. But winter will come to an end and spring is on its way. Little signs are everywhere. I love the promise of spring.
Are you looking forward to the end of winter?
That bread looks wonderful. There's nothing like freshly baked bread slathered in butter and with some soup. I am really enjoying winter this year and am trying to go with it, rather than willing spring to come. But damn it's cold! I would like it to warm up just a tiny bit. xx
ReplyDeleteI hope you have lots of wonderful pleasures in February. xx
ReplyDeleteI'm excited about spring but I'm also very happy to hang onto the pleasures of winter for awhile longer. There's always something to love.
ReplyDeleteI love winter, so I'm not in any hurry for it to end, but I shall love spring too. It's all good! CJ xx
ReplyDeleteI actually am enjoying winter right now. The longer I live here in the NW the more I enjoy the winter and it's beauty. Cold evenings sitting near the fire place, winter storms and lots of knitting and Crochetting. I hope you are enjoying your winter and I'm looking forward to spring. And although I'm learning to like winter I'm also like you looking forward to spring.
ReplyDeleteLovely post- I'm definitely looking forward to spring, although I love winter too. A break from the cold would be nice!

I'm enjoying seeing the little signs of spring on the way, the extra light in the afternoon has been really appreciated.
ReplyDeleteI love the promise of spring too; it's a bit like a glimpse through a hole in the hedge to what's beyond. Happy to hang on to winter for a bit longer, just so long as spring pops up later.
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to spring! brought some flowers today, it chilly here too, keep warm and have a nice weekendx
ReplyDeleteall such lovely simple pleasures, and my that bread looks delicious!
ReplyDeleteWe're only half-way through winter here, so I don't think of spring until the end of March. Winter walks and flowers blooming just sounds off kilter to me ;)

Perfect simple pleasures. I cant wait for Spring... Spring is my favourite! I love the longer, lighter evenings and being able to get out and about after school. I'm kind of done with cosying up inside now! Have a good week. xx
