 Winter...almost here, with it's crisp cold air and biting cold. Warm drinks and a season of family and festivities and for contemplating the new year ahead...


 


 It is the life of the crystal, the architect of the flake, the fire of the frost, the soul of the sunbeam. This crisp winter air is full of it. ~John Burroughs, "Winter Sunshine"



I prefer winter and Fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape — the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show. ~Andrew Wyeth







                                                                           

One kind word can warm three winter months. ~Japanese Proverb










Winter came down to our home one night
Quietly pirouetting in on silvery-toed slippers of snow,
And we, we were children once again.
~Bill Morgan, Jr.


 





 I hide myself in the quiet white of Winter and
nestle in her comforting folds of cold oblivion.
~Terri Guillemets




 Ever grateful for those tiny moments that bring us joy...that make us smile..the things life is made of.....

Welcome, winter. Your late dawns and chilled breath make me lazy, but I love you nonetheless. ~Terri Guillemets


How many lessons of faith and beauty we should lose, if there were no winter in our year! ~Thomas Wentworth Higginson, "April Days," 1861


What good is the warmth of summer without the cold of winter to give it sweetness. ~Author Unknown
