White Wonder

I took a little stroll around the back yard while feeding the birds to capture some of the white wonder that snow brings ~ a long ago faded hydrangea, an empty bird house and an old rusty garden gate. . .  

  a run down birdhouse, a lonely fern and a watering can I forgot to put away for the winter. . .

   a solitary blue jay, an apartment bird house and my sleeping garden shed.  

   Do you ever think of snow as a cozy blanket that nature snuggles in, like we cozy up in a warm comfy knit throw?  I often wonder if nature likes this reprieve from the hard work of growing and blooming and reproducing.  I think while nature is hibernating and resting, I will do the same.  ~ Linking with   A Southern Daydreamer for Outdoor Wednesday ~
