a cozy greenhouse in the snow; first Sunday in Advent

When I went out to take these pictures, I wish I had the technology to record “the whole picture”. It was relatively quiet in the neighbourhood as it is when it snows, of course there was a damp cold being on the west coast and only blocks away from the ocean, but when I stepped inside “my little house”- I could detect the faint scent of the gardenia that is just starting to bloom, and in our neighbour’s garden I could hear the laughter of two little girls squealing with glee as they played with their Dad in the first snow of the season. We don’t always get snow here, so experienced children know to get out there and enjoy it while it’s there!
