My favorite time of day in the winter is early evening when the sun has set for the day and the house become aglow in lamplight. I love looking into windows from outside and seeing how cozy and inviting a house looks. No matter how many crumbs may be scattered on the floor or dust bunnies may be gathering on the furniture, like magic when the sun sets and lamps are turned on the crumbs and dust disappear and are no longer visible!

What is more iniviting than curling up in a chair with a good book under the glow of a reading lamp?

Or the soft glow of a lamp on a kitchen counter? After the supper dishes have been washed and the kitchen tidied for the day, I love turning off the main kitchen lights and leaving the counter lamp glowing on its own.

And of course the warm glow of a bedside lamp, luring you to bed at the end of the day

What is your favorite time of day in the winter?
