Winter light

The light seems prettiest in the morning these days – when the sun is still low in the sky and it slants in through the windows.

I’ve pretty much determined that I’m not much of a Winter kind of person.   I love all the other seasons and look forward the them with much anticipation.  But for me Winter just has the holidays going for it.  Once they are over I start pining for Spring.

I have to say that one other thing it has going for it is that you can peep into your neighbor’s lives a little easier during the Winter.  Oh like you don’t peer into your neighbor’s windows when the opportunity presents itself.   When the trees and bushes lose their leaves you can see details of their homes and gardens that you can’t see during the flush of Spring and Summer.   

I bought the antique looking mirrored star at Target.  Now that they’re done with the holidays they have a whole global bazaar thing going on.   Most of it has an Moorish or Asian feel to me.  I wouldn’t deck out an entire room in either but little touches are nice.  Like you’ve actually traveled to the far corners of the earth and picked them up as souvenirs.

I’m really liking the turquoise color – not that it would even remotely go with anything I already have.  Maybe an outdoor area – a porch, perhaps.

I love Target.  I can always find something there that I really don’t need.
