A morning sunrise

It's been downright cold and wintry in the mountains, with close to record lows, hardly weather to think about gardening.  My raised beds are covered with snow, and rosemary, leeks, broccoli, and other hardy plants are just peeking through.

It's equally cold back home in the Piedmont, according to the weather reports, and windy, too.

But the clear winter air makes the sunrises beautiful, and we're thankful for our view across the ravine.

We have wonderful views that surround us in our home garden, but not any 'to the horizon' sort of views.  It's a treat and something to be grateful for.
