Things to love:
(1) Paper Whites in January. Watching the foliage grow, then the anticipation of the blooms. This year's bulbs are huge, about the size of tulip bulbs.
(2) My neighbor's holly tree. I have a living room window that looks out on the bricks on the side of my neighbor's house. (Not the window pictured, it looks out the front.) Not a stellar side view, and yet . . . the movement of that holly tree in the winter wind is always lovely. If there are a few flakes of snow, all the better.
(3) The dry street. I can just get in my car and go, no shoveling. A winter gift.

My paperwhites are very tall--but once the flower buds opened I quickly cut them off and added them to the compost pile. The smell is too much for me and way too much for the dog. I think an interestingly branched tree or shrub is a lovely thing to enjoy looking at in winter. I usually prune my trees for Winter enjoyment more than when they have leaves. Here in maine the sun is shining and the street is dry. Life is good.
