Sunny Saturday in January – Break from the Winter Blues

Oh this weather! We spent nearly our entire Saturday outside and in the garage. I sat out on the bricks in the garden and rolled up my sweatpants hoping a little sunshine would chase those winter blues away. The boys went straight to digging and playing with water.

Up until yesterday, I was wary about the upcoming garden season. Anticipating all the fuss and labor exhausted me. Bed sheets and pillows are so seductive. The thought crossed my mind that I could conquer the world — if only I could get out of bed. At one point I crawled back into bed, ready to resign myself to a post-lunch comatose state, but then decided the boys needed to be outside. Days like yesterday are few and far between this time of year. It was worth it.

None of these pictures are filtered. Typically I love adding a little
vignette and tinting, but the light and the colors felt so pure.
