“Let me, O let me bathe my soul in colours;
let me swallow the sunset
and drink the rainbow.”
Khalil Gibran
For many days the sun hasn’t shown up, it’s grey in the mornings when I leave for work and dark when I come back. The days are getting longer, but the grey is sticking around here. I bought yellow flowers in the weekend, they are so pretty and make my kitchen warm and colourful.
I haven’t joining Nurturing Thursday for so long. I miss it, and I think it’s time to start to post more, to have and to give more inspiration.

I love that you bring in color, and I suspect some nice floral fragrances too. We can’t control the weather, or the seasons, or how much the sun shines. We can go find us some color to brighten our days, our homes, our hearts. You got this. Thanks for sharing! 🙂

We had a tough January, no sunshine at all, so when I saw these flowers I had to get them, and the berries were delicious too!

You inspired me! I miss my garden, so why not get some grocery store flowers and spread around the house. This plate is really cute, it’s part of a set that I was keeping for special occasions, but I decided to use it. 🙂

I think colour is so important. We all need it during the winter months.

I’m already dreaming with my garden, can’t wait for the spring, but while it’s not here I need to improvise with these beauties.

At work we took a test to see what color we were: yellow, red, blue or green. I was a yellow–a structure person. That test described me to a T. I am not so much a fan of yellow, but I do take much pride in the color!
