The world outside my window is cold and dark. The streetlight casts a dim cone of light over a snowy landscape. Back inside, as the electronic thermostat gradually brings the house temperature down to its energy-saving nighttime low, I snuggle inside my giant red-hooded sweatshirt in a vain search for warmth.
I thought a little color might brighten our collective mood. Did it?
YES! it def helped to see this pretty, bright, cheerful color! thanks! it's so blah and cold here... 9 out now with wind chill of 1 degree...
ReplyDeleteIt's a great picture of a flower and some brightness is always appreciated. Where I live might not be cold to many, but two days ago it was more than 50 degrees warmer so the drastic change has me freezing. At least it is cold enough that things are icey, so I am not too wimpy am I?
ReplyDeleteHere via Michele

BEEEEEautiful!!!! As you know, I love flowers, thanks for cheering up my night! It's a cold, wet night here...maybe ice too....eek!
ReplyDeleteStopping by via Michele's!
It barely brightened mine - but only because my mood was already just about as bright as could be.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful picture! I wanted to thank you for always having such nice things to say on my blog. You are a great person. Thanks for the prayers.
ReplyDeleteVery well taken. From where I live, weather is warm ( 31 degrees Celsius). Wish I could share some of it with you.
ReplyDeleteHope you enjoy your Sunday.
That definitely brightens things up. Its sunny but very cold in my part of the world today.

ReplyDeleteYellow is such a happy colour!!! That reminds me... I should buy some sun flowers tomorrow... maybe they'll make me feel a bit better.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit warm here at the moment. Would you like me to send some of our heat to you?
Michele sent me.
yes. It's like a big sunshine!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Flowers are very welcome. Winter will end here eventually. Others are having summer. :-)
ReplyDeleteHave a good rest of weekend.
Here from Michele's.
I'll pop the heat in some packing boxes and ship it to you. :o)
ReplyDeleteMichele sent me back again.
Wonderful! we had -2ºC and snowflakes yesterday at the French Alps (at 1,200m), got home at sea level with 17ºC some 9 hours later... Michele sent me this time!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! These yellow spider mums are just the thing. It is so cold that every picture I took yesterday had a bluish cast- including the one of the swans frozen in the lake. Thinking Spring...thanks
ReplyDeleteGreat picture...reminds me that spring will be here soon enough!
ReplyDeleteBless you, yes it did.
ReplyDeleteIt sure did!!! Lovely picture.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo. I can pretend it's the yellow "rose" of Texas:)
