Christmas Eve and the cold, foggy garden

Today is Christmas Eve. The year is coming to an end once again. A real cold morning. As I write this post, the dogs are all huddled in their corners and some under blankets around me, the garden outside looks reposeful in its winter colours of marigold, the Aloe Vera flowering, the Lantana also showing off gentle colours and chrysanthemum in its last leg.

Every time I turn my face from my computer, this view at my back is this one- of my back garden. The front does not have much flowers yet. But this one always gladdens my heart and the house feels like a home with my flowers a sign of life, vitality and the quiet joy that permeates everything here.
