Towards that end, I've decided to identify, every day, something beautiful, interesting, comforting or remarkable in my tinier-than-usual world. To help me stick to that practice, I'm going to share what it is I find in this thread, once per day (or so).

So, day 1: two lemons in the sun. The biggest one has grown bigger even in the few weeks since I injured my ankle. The 1st lemon we've had on this little lemon tree. When will it ripen? And what will we make with it? And how miraculous, lemons in winter in VT!

Several citrus fruits on a sunlit houseplant in front of a window. Outside the window is bright white snow.

Day 2: A friend and teacher had prisms hanging in a sunny window in her farmhouse & when she passed away, they came to us and hang now in our sunny window. This morning rainbows danced across the ceiling and walls, reminding me of my friend, and of how even a simple sunbeam contains multitudes.

Day 3: This opened today. It's packaging advertised a dark full pink. Never mind, surprises can be beautiful.

A mostly white amaryllis flower. It's center is green, and some of the petals, especially the ones on the right are streaked with red.

Day 4: The big brown eyes. The crossed front legs.

Day 5 - The open road, first time outside since surgery, on my way to the dentist. Fresh air: 100% A+

Day 6 - Sparkles out the window.

A bunch of plants in front of a wide set of windows. Outside the windows trees are ice covered and sparkling in the sun

Day 7: Sometimes when you can't go to the woods, the woods comes to you.
