Let it be known that I’m not a huge fan of Winter. Now, I do like warm fires, popcorn with the family all snuggled on the couch watching our favorite movies under blankets, the smell of pine, hot coco, yummy wintery food, But, I’m so not a fan of the gloomy days outside. I like green! I like sunshine! I miss flowering plants and singing birdies!
I took this photo of the ivy growing from the neighbors yard on our fence. I’ve grown to love this ivy … it is green all year long! The funny thing is when we first moved into our home 11 years ago … I was like … “oh, you’ve got to cut that ivy … we can not have that ivy … it’s gotta go”. Tony was quick to take care of it … but over the years we’ve let it grow over thru the Winter so that we have some green and happy plants in our yard over this time of year. I can see this ivy from my desk at home and I love it! I have to snap a quick photo of it to share this week.
The ivy story reminds me too of the things that at first we have a quick opinion on and then it changes over time. Now, I’m not sure that I will change my mind on Winter … who knows … maybe over time … but for now … I’ll keep looking forward to Spring or at least some sunny days.
