I love the surprise of the scarlet red cardinal – the ‘single bright spot in the January days’. I’m completely with you by the fireplace – give me a comfy chair, a good book and a bowl of butternut squash soup and I’m a happy girl!Kim M.

I hated taking the tree down, so a few years ago, when I was deep in the throws of depression over seriously failing health, I created something sor myself. I call it a winter tree. It's a beautiful 3' tall white flocked artificial nobel fir. I decorate with things that remind me of the things I like about winter, with a few things that I like about spring, and just some cool things. I make sure tge stuff is colorful, and I find new stuff each year. I set it up in my studio here where I write and create my art. It's fun, colorful, and it helps. It's a liitle ritual to give me an emitional bump.robkistnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08166835029205143266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-156773205591631053.post-2490471953797752202019-01-07T17:01:13.375-08:002019-01-07T17:01:13.375-08:00Warmth and welcome exude from your Halibun.
