winter colour

Is it spring yet?

No.  I wish. It's only the middle of January ~ it's still winter. 

But, this is how I like to brighten up my indoors in winter.  I like to buy fresh tulips, from growers

in Prince Edward Island, along with some other

fresh flowers.

When most of us think of winter we see lots of white snow and grey skies.  There's not much colour in the landscape and one has to get out and look for it.  

Or one can stay in and find it too.

Here is where I found my colour this past week.

A simple $8.00 bouquet from the grocery store.

Oh, I could whine about the bitter -18 Celsius cold, the snow, the dampness that seems to go right through me, the biting wind, the short daylight hours etc.  But, I am trying to be positive and upbeat this winter and look on the bright side.  

I hope I can keep this attitude up since it is only January and we have 3 more months before we see the beginning of the end of winter here.

{I'll let you know how that's going at the end of February}

And I have some outdoor colour on the back deck that I can see from my dining room table where I blog.  It really helps to see this every day!

I'm linking with a new party over at

No Winter Whining ~ Finding Colour in Winter
