“A garden to walk in and immensity to dream in–what more could he ask? A few flowers at his feet and above him the stars.”
― Victor Hugo, Les Misérables

“A garden isn’t meant to be useful. It’s for joy.
Rumer Godden found in Power of Simple Living by Ellyn Sanna”

The Morning After a Winter Snowstorm

Posted on January 31, 2014 | 4 comments

“Winter is on my head, but eternal spring is in my heart.” -Victor Hugo

“One kind word can warm three winter months.” -Japanese Proverb

I live in the shadow of a mountain, so it takes a while for the sun to shine on my home. The above photo is what my backyard looked like this morning.

The next photo shows the sunrise from the front of my home. You can also see part of my driveway.

I am not a photographer, so having light and shadow is a difficult shot for me.

More views from my front yard:

I wanted to show a UFO that I have been diligently working on. I guess I haven’t been diligent enough, but it is getting close.

Remember this? (I’m not surprised if you don’t!)

Coming soon.
