This and that of the day...........

...foggy cold mornings, beautiful and still. The fog hung around most of the day, making the park in front of my house look quite fairy-tale-like.

A fairy-tale mist: The park in front of my house enveloped in the morning fog.

Chasing the winter sun through the trees.

The beautiful stillness of a cold December afternoon.

A bright splash of red on a misty day.

Nature’s winter colors blooming beautifully in the yard.

....the sun eventually came out late in the day, I love late afternoon light, it was a gorgeous day.

My daughter Vipin Choudhary sitting by the vibrant marigolds, beautifully settled in their recycled tub stand.

Here is a picture of my daughter sitting by the marigold flowers. We planted these vibrant orange and light yellow flowers in a recycled plastic tub and set it up on an old fridge stand. I just love how lovely they look on their new raised stand.

A few little details about our space: Our front yard may not be very large, but we make the most of it. It's the perfect little corner for our plants, parking the scooter and motorcycle, and laying out a few chairs, a table, or a Charpai to soak up the sun.

The arrangement with the plants actually happened yesterday while I was deep cleaning the backyard and the kitchen island. We found a big plastic tub and a fridge stand that were about to be discarded. Instead of throwing them away, we used the stand to elevate the tub filled with plants. They have settled in beautifully and have been there for weeks now.

Happy Day!
