Christmas paperwhites


Paperwhites, 2009, originally uploaded by cabanagirl.

Today I cleaned the kitchen and put the baking equipment away for the season. It was a quiet & reflective day. I took the time to sketch my paperwhites. One I bought a couple of weeks ago and has been in bloom since. The other was a gift and is just showing the first signs of a bloom. I love the fragrance. It is more heady in the evening....right now. Paperwhites remind me of the simple things of the season. Tomorrow is the solstice. Winter is upon us.

Lovely painting Denise. I am sure your budding Paperwhite will bloom by Christmas. I can imagine how beautiful their perfume must be.

Winter is definitely here and it promises to be a long one.
