As a solitary traveler nears his destination the bright lights of the mountain village welcome him to a cozy home.

I created a rainy autumn day picture and a winter day with snow picture of this reading nook, and now here's a spring day. Warm light streaming in, flowers everywhere, a spring breeze blowing in the open windows, and a suncatcher sparkling in the sunlight.

Some little sprite has made itself a cozy home in the trunk of this tree, and has lit it up in honor of Christmas.

Rain on the window, a fire on the hearth, comfortable chairs, good books, food, something hot to drink, and a cat for company. What could make an autumn day any cozier?

“To give knowledge of salvation unto his people by the remission of their sins,

Luke 1:77-79
