Hello and welcome to
☀Sunlit Sunday! The purpose of this little annual gathering to to focus on the sunny things in your life and to share them during, for many of us, the grey days of wintertime. Let's celebrate this season, whether it's snow-covered and cold or bright and warm in your part of the world. You may have noticed that this first photo does not feature any sunbeams. It just goes to show that the bright spots in life needn't feature literal rays of light, but rather things that bring you a bit of joy.
The sun did make a brief appearance this morning, so I whisked the paperwhites into the kitchen for another quick photo. I have a few pots of these in the house; most have yet to open. It's lovely to something blooming and fragrant in January.
Also in the kitchen, some fruit in the sunlight. Nothing fancy, but who says a shining spot in the day needs to be grand to be appreciated!
For those of you have been here before, you may recall that I foster for a local animal rescue group, one cat at a time. This is Purl. The sky may have been overcast when this was taken today, but she brightens up my home with her personality and purrs. I'll forgive her for claiming my chair when I got up to take a few photos. The girl likes to be comfortable!
All are welcome to participate in ☀Sunlit Sunday. Here are the guidelines.
Thank you for visiting!

Thank you for hosting Sunlit Sunday once again, Karen. I do love the bright light on the fruit, and on your paper whites. I'm glad Purl is brightening up your spirits. I'll be back to visit some of the other participants.
ReplyDeleteSo nice to see your pretty flowers! They smell so nice too!! Purl looks like a very contented kitty!!
ReplyDeleteThe paper whites are so wonderful to brighten a winter's day - I can imagine their perfume is wafting through the house too!
ReplyDeleteThe colour of those tangelos brightens any room.
Little Purl is nestled so comfortably in your chair - she appreciates you I can see!
Thank you so much for taking time out of your busy life to host Sunlit Sunday again Karen!
Hello, Karen!
ReplyDeleteIt's wonderful that Sunlit Sunday starts again! (I was hoping it, but I didn't want to ask you because I can understand how much work hosting a blog event means.)
Sun is not often seen where I live, but the days have already become much longer. :)
Have a lovely Sunday!
So wonderful to have the Sunlit Sunday posts back, they really did brighten my winter last year, and that I thank you. Purl looks might comfortable there. Have a wonderful week x
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely sunny moments!! Beautiful flowers, delicious fruit and a wonderful kitty companion in Purl, what could be better to bring sunlight into anyones life. Great to have Sunlit Sunday back again, thank you!!! xx
ReplyDeleteWhat a delight to see Purl in your post along with the beautiful Paperwhites. I'm a fool for cats, and I'm happy to know that Purl is still with you and brightening your days. I have two cats who brighten every day for me, even though one of them loves to take over my office chair, just like Purl.
ReplyDeleteI'm not on Google+, Jeanette, and it won't let me respond to you directly. I don't know if you'll see this, but thank you for stopping by today. Cats are lovely!

Hi Karen. Fresh flowers in winter are always welcome in my home too. The paper whites are so pretty and Purl is a beautiful cat! I hope the week ahead has some sunny moments for you. Pam
ReplyDeleteKaren so happy to see Sunlit Sunday but the link is telling me I don't have a permalink and I don't know what that is. I am on a new computer but my same blog. Love Paperwhites and all flowers.
