My Garden: Finding Beauty in February

In February my garden is covered with snow, the hills are white and there is little color anywhere.

Recently we went to Billings Farm and Museum with some friends. I love visiting Billings Farm; it is a working farm with numerous animals and an operational farmhouse run as it was run in 1890. It was a beautiful day. Shadows made patterns on the fresh snow.

The light was absolutely beautiful in the farmhouse as it reflected off the pantry shelves.

Molasses cookies had just been made and their scent filled the kitchen with good smells.

Apples hung on a string, waiting to be used in an apple pie.

The world may have been cold and white outside but inside there was life in the plants that framed the window.

Containers sat on the counter waiting to be filled with fresh butter.

My garden may be covered with snow but there is beauty everywhere.
