I had a really hard time letting go of Autumn but am surprising myself by finding so much joy in Winter. The snow is absolutely beautiful, for one thing. We took a little train ride on Wednesday and were in absolute awe of the beauty we saw in the wintery sunshine. Fields of untouched snow, some of them so smooth they looked like newly iced cakes. Snow covered clusters of trees in the distance that, Cameron observed, looked like they were placed there straight out of a painting, almost too perfect to be real. We saw children sledging and a family building an igloo too - what fabulous memories they will have when they look back on this snowy season!
The novelty of playing in the snow has worn off and Cameron and I are enjoying the chance to cosy up at home and beaver away on our own projects. Christmas brought so many wonderful presents that have sparked our interests, and the excuse to stay home in the warmth and get on with them is very welcome.
The early stages of plotting and planning for Spring have slowly started to enter my mind. I have a stack of seed catalogues on my nightstand for bedtime reading, leading to dreams of Spring sunshine on my face, budding trees and a carpet of Spring flowers all around me.
Lunches of home made soup and croutons are becoming the norm. We like to warm our hands on the bowls and catch up on each other's project news.
We have decorated the Christmas tree (which is now in the back yard) with strings of popcorn and dried fruits for the birds.

It feels good to be able to give back to some of the local wildlife after getting so much joy from our observations all year round.

This post matches up with my feelings too. I had my annual seed supply as a Christmas present and I call feel them calling at me already! Lovely idea to go on a train ride in the snow - my daughter will love doing this. I thought you might like the bird cafe we made?
Love that you have redecorated your christmas tree for the birds :)
We did this in the past and it is a wonderful idea that I need to put in my notes for next year. I know what you mean about spring thoughts and plans already even though we are deep in winter.
Warm wishes,
