5 Beautiful Things

 

Willing Spring Into Being

It is precisely this time of year when we in the Northeast begin to suffer from winter doldrums: the winter boots begin to feel like cement, the layers of clothing like ropes of bondage, the cold like a dagger in our hearts. I’m being dramatic, I know, but anyone living under a perpetually gray sky with the hovering threat of a blizzard knows I’m not exaggerating that much. So, this week I’ve chosen five photos that will help to switch gears in our minds, reminding us that the season of birth and renewal is nearly upon us. Dare to open a window on a mild day. Promise to open the blinds despite the sleet outside and browse your favorite garden magazines for backyard inspiration. Bring the new season into being through sheer will! It will be here before you know it.
