It is safe and warm
In my own Winter Garden
I’m free to bloom there.
******************
In my studio, I am lucky enough to have a huge bay window.
We call it the intensive care for the plants in our house.
If they need a dose of bright sunlight, and a safe place to bloom,
this window is the place.
I heard the term “winter garden” on an episode of House Hunters International.
It referred to an enclosed patio that could be enjoyed in the winter months.
I realized how my studio feels like a winter garden.
With the trees bare outside, and even when the snow will white out all the color beyond my windows,
inside here, the light shines brightly and we are all free to bloom.
Happy Friday, Beautiful Blooming Ones !

What a great thing for My Queen to have--a safe, warm, nurturing space filled with Big Love for Living Things, Light, and Beauty. Thank you for sharing this with me on this dark and dreary morning in the Pacific Northwest :) I think we all have to have a space, a place to go to that is safe and warm and nurturing; I am currently looking to discover that place inside of me! xoO
I suspect you bloom wherever you are, but a winter garden (and plant hospital) is a grand idea.
What a wonderful garden window! How lucky you are to have a beautiful place to be surrounded with blooms during the cold winter months.
A true Sanctuary where love abounds and all is blessed by your presence! Sending you big blessings and much love and deep appreciation for sharing your beautiful spirit. I love you Kimmy

OH i lOOOOOOVE your window!
and so many pretty things and plants all around
wonderful!
A heavenly place and I love the words!!!
Very nice!!!!
Love your Winter garden. I have one very large plant that sits nearby where I spend most of my time. I looked at it when I read your post and it needs to be repotted! I better wait until Spring. Great haiku. Enjoy Winter, whereever you are.
Peace
Dear Kim,
I recall the episode of a winter garden room. The househunting was in Germany. I loved the glassed in porch that would fill in the winter blues with blooming brilliance. What an excellent way to get through dark and dreary weather. Your bay window is a beautiful Plan B for sun hungry houseplants.
Winter gardens are indeed good blooming places!
