~Awww...the Beauty of Winter!
~Keep your faith in beautiful things
IN THE SUN WHEN IT IS HIDDEN,
In the Spring when it is gone.
~Roy R. Gibson
~Every gardener knows that under the cloak of Winter
lies a miracle... A seed waiting to sprout,
A bulb opening to the light, A bud straining to unfurl.
And the anticipation nurtures our dream.
~Barbara Winkler

~ENJOY THE BEAUTY OF WINTER!

~One leaf left on a branch
and not a sound of sadness
or despair. One leaf left on a branch
and no unhappiness.
One leaf left all by itself in the air
and it does not speak of
loneliness or death.
~David Ignatow

~Have you ever noticed a tree standing naked against
the sky, how beautiful it is? All of its branches are outlined,
and in its nakedness, there is a poem, a song...
~Krishnamurti

~In a way Winter is the real Spring~the time
when the inner things happen,
the resurgence of Nature.
~Edna O'Brien
