I'm back..and the snow is falling outside my shop door.
Winter dreams and the promise of a beautiful spring combine in my mind and heart. As I embrace the falling snow..while lying within a snow angel...I'm pondering next spring's garden. While tasting the frosty, soft snowflakes...I can smell the sweetness of my peonies in the not too distant future.
I walk hand in hand with this moment and the next..the comfort of warm nights by the fire and the promise of soft grass under my feet. The warm mug of hot cocoa tastes ever so yummy, especially topped with those snowy white marshmallows. Mmm..yet somehow, I can taste the coolness of a tall glass of iced tea..with fresh sprigs of mint (from my garden) floating to the edge of my goblet. I see myself here and now frolicking in the snow...as it cascades down gently like crystal diamonds from the heavens above...yet I'm able to feel the kiss of a warm breeze scented with clover underfoot.
Somehow the magic of the seasons have come together at this moment in time..they have enveloped me within the gentle folds of their nature. I am promised the kiss of Father Winter's comforts..and the caress of Lady Spring's warm breath..floral splendor...and new beginnings.
T'is all Bliss to me..oh so blissfully blissful! May it be so for you!

Welcome back, Sandra! Gee, it seems to be snowing everywhere but here in Oregon. We had 60 degree weather today which is unheard of this time of year. I wanted to thank you so much for offering your opinion on my dream! Your feedback definitely makes sense for what's going on in my life. Funny, I couldn't put it together myself. Maybe I didn't want to face it?
ReplyDeleteHope you had a wonderful and lovely weekend!
xoxo

Hello Michelle!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I'm sure many here are wishing for your 60 degree weather. I'm happy to have offered my take on your dream..it was quite an interesting one. *smiles*
Hope your week started off beautifully and remains so.
Hugs,
Sandra
There is an award waiting for you at my blog :)
ReplyDeleteYou are so right, this time of the year fills our hearts with two worlds, the snowy, frosty one and the other, which waits patiently around the corner for it's turn to shine. Beautiful post xxx
ReplyDeleteTery,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! That's so sweet!
Alina,
Thank you! I'm a winter gal, but Spring is always a high spot for me after the long, cold days. Thank you for visiting Harmonie! So nice to meet you. I look forward to visiting you lovely place often.
Hugs my dears!
Sandra
To me, you have the perfect attitude toward the Seasons.
ReplyDeleteI try to live in each Season, as it lives around me. And not pine too much, for the coming one. It works, most of the time.
But when Winter lingers and lingers and lingers, it gets harder and harder. This hasn't set in on me, as yet. With luck, it won't, this year.
With luck, I'll happily pass from Winter to Spring, in harmony with Mother Nature's vision.
^_^
Dear Auntie,
ReplyDeleteI think Spring will waltz in quite beautifully this year..I can feel it. Winter has been true and wonderful. I see it stepping aside like a perfect gent.
Enjoy your seasons!
Hugs,
Sandra
