Home-born happiness


A little jonquil from the grocery store, and a turkey pot pie on a cold Friday night. I hope your January weekend is full of simple comfort.

O Winter, ruler of the inverted year...
I crown thee king of intimate delights,

Fire side enjoyments, home-born happiness,

And all the comforts that the lowly roof

of undisturb'd retirement,
and the hours
of long interrupted evening, know.

William Cowper
1731-1800
