Its been a busy month filled with lots of snow and things on ice. Today felt like a perfect snapshot of an industrial, gray winter day so I decided to find some flowers. The first ones I have seen in reality this year, in fact. Looking at the buckets and buckets of gerber daisies, calla lillies, ferns and irises, felt a bit like a very lucid and water-laden prismacolor display. Not quite ready for spring, I picked up some deep purple proteas, white tea roses, and some eucalyptus with mauvish-like berries. It was a nice addition to our home, particularly in the afternoon winter light. Hard to believe that February is moments away. So this afternoon, for the first time in quite a while, I went the pace that the day called for- slowly, slowly, slowly with the company of roses, three little voices, and an early evening glass of wine. Excited to commence the hunt for more botanical visual elixirs, like the one above, and enjoy the last of winter next month.
