Winter

Winter has extended its visit for far too long. Its chilling grip makes me apprehensive about the venture beyond the window.

Though she has teased us with a warm sigh now and then, her icy reminders leave us stranded in isolation.

So to spread a little colour and warmth, I share this Rose with you. It was part of a bouquet my husband gave me for Valentine's Day.

Here's to colour...

And to warmth...

And the anticipation of SPRING!
