We are at that time of year when, in many parts of the country, the long stretch of post-holiday winter has settled in. Icy winds greet us when we venture out in the morning, and early sunsets send us hurrying home in the evening. Thoughts turn to words like cold, dark, and bleak, and we long for warm blankets, cozy sweaters, and hot drinks to comfort us.
Flowers are not generally associated with this time of year, for obvious reasons. Just when we need their warm colors and sun-kissed leaves the most, flowers are nowhere to be found. In the month of January is not possible for many of us to enjoy window pot flowers, flora-filled parks, or the verdant tones of the warmer months. But we still have our imaginations. Thoughts of the blossoms, blooms, and bountiful greens we look forward to can brighten days and warm spirits. For all January babies shivering through the shortest weeks of the year, we wish you warm thoughts, cozy imaginings, and, from everyone at Birthday Blossoms, the happiest of birthdays.
