What’s a sun-deprived, cabin fevered yet shivering farmwife supposed to do when winter wearily reaches this lackluster point---the sparkling colors of Christmas are long past and the lurid reds of Valentines Day are somehow nothing but annoying. A gaily blooming flower garden overflowing with vibrant color would surely be the remedy but who can find such beauty in northern latitudes during February. So in desperation she embarked on an exploratory quest within the walls of her snowbound abode, attempting to discover the cure for color-starvation.
Emeralds, rubies, sapphires, and amethysts would certainly do the trick but none such brilliant gems were unearthed during a probe of her belongings. Nevertheless the search continued and before long a multicolored glass mosaic vase was spied resting unilluminated in a shadow on a shelf. All it took was a quick and simple relocation to a ledge bathed in window-light, sunny or not, and voila! her yearning for some mood-brightening colors to gaze at was fulfilled.

That is beautiful! What a nice "pop" of color for a winter day.
What bright, beautiful colors! Great find to brighten your day. =)
Beautiful! What a difference a change in position can make.
It's good to see you back blogging, Jeanelle, and also to know that you are still farming. I hope that the milk price is better now for you. You have some lovely quilts. I'd like to make one with my late mother's leftover stash of fabrics - it would be a big undertaking for me. Dairymary
