The Joyful Colors of Winter

Just outside my front door, in my little garden space, this lovely variegated Euonymous gives me joy all seasons of the year - but just look at its pink tinged beauty in the snow!

In the front room of our little house I'm lucky to have three huge windows.  Really, these are BIG windows, especially for such an old and small house!  The space once served as a dining room and living room, with an archway in the middle, the fireplace at the far end and a door to the front yard on one side.  We always eat at the kitchen table, so in the time that I've lived here it has never been a dining room.  My desk and computer sit between two of these windows and from my seat there I can watch the sun rise and the moon set....

I'm usually there early morning or late night, and sometimes that rosy glow draws me outdoors for a better view of God's glory ~

The picket fence has seen better days!

A celery plant that I missed picking is poking its way through the snow. 

And a variegated sage plant has some leaves holding on...

If I venture farther away from the house, I think the red berries on the ornamental crabapple tree are very pretty.  So is the bright blue January sky....

That blob in the background is actually a beautiful rock, brought up from the field

Beautiful blue January sky and puffy white clouds

Moon setting in the west...

And of course, what could be more joyful than a snapping good fire to warm our hands and our hearts?   

What colors are bringing you joy this winter?
