Daily Prompt – Through the Window

January 30, 2013 by dorannrule

Yes, it is winter but the sun is shining. I stood at my bedroom window for a full minute this morning (as the “Prompt” suggested) and I was reminded of spring. There is still a hint of a green grassy lawn and the rays of the sun cast promising shadows. Directly below my window is the copper pot which holds our garden hose all coiled up and ready to go. The snap dragons are still alive and thriving even though we had some severe freezes just days ago. The forest to the side is still barren but somehow, along with the sun, they too seem hopeful. What I see from my bedroom window on this winter morning is the promise of spring.

Reminds me of the lyrics to the Bette Midler song, The Rose: “Just remember, in the winter, far beneath the bitter snows, lies the seed, that with the sun’s love, in the spring becomes the rose”. One of my favorite songs!
Thanks for reminding me of it today. We’re having an almost spring-like day, and it is SO welcome!

I hope winter does not break its promise of spring!

I have thought of the daily writing prompt, but then I would certainly never get my 10,000 steps in! (As if I do now.)

  I hit 10,000 steps about once a month, so I figure the daily prompt won’t make that much difference. Might be fun. On the other hand, I may draw daily blanks. We shall see. 🙂

    Hey, let’s go for 10,000 per month. I think I could do that!

The weather has been sunny and is expected to hit 60 degrees tomorrow. That’s a far cry from the 15 degrees of last week. The problem is that I get spring fever only to have the cold weather return.

  The swings in the weather this winter are creating mood swings too. This morning I could have sworn I was walking the dog in Florida! 🙂

Wow, I’m amazed that you still have snap dragons. I didn’t realize that they were such a hardy flower.

  Neither did I Sheryl. These little guys are absolutely unbelievable. I read they love cool weather, but freezing? I am going to dub the Super Flowers now.
