What's beautiful here? Extra room! The tree came down today
Today was a good day - a normal day - a relaxed day. We enjoyed a leisurely breakfast together. We took down the Christmas tree and put away the ornaments. There were swans on the river (along with the usual geese, ducks, pelicans, etc.) My husband made a pie, and I made a big salad for a family gathering, which took up most of a very relaxed afternoon. We came home shortly after the snow started, in the almost dark. I did the best I could to get a picture of the snow on my gaura plant, which has lovely, arching stems. Wandering a bit in the snow, in the almost dark, may have been the best part of the day. It seemed like something just a bit ridiculous, a bit outside what I "should" be doing, and that is a good thing. Then, for good measure, I moved some furniture and vacuumed the floor. Not normally chores I enjoy, but since I haven't done them, nor been able to do them for five months, it was actually a delight! Beauty, and joy, are both in the eyes and the heart of the beholder.
