“White…is not a mere absence of color; it is a shining and affirmative thing, as fierce as red, as definite as black…God paints in many colors; but He never paints so gorgeously, I had almost said so gaudily, as when He paints in white.”
—G. K. Chesterton

My narcissus are already coming up! So much for my complaining about my cutting garden…though I can’t bear to cut them—they’re just too gorgeous.
White succulents seem so Santa Barbara to me and add a bit of winter white to the garden.
Potted white kalanchoes.
Look! We’re even growing snowballs…
The quintessential winter dessert…
Baked Alaska, offered at San Ysidro Ranch.
This January health kick better work if I’m going to fit into this!
The ultimate in winter white. Chanel from Garance Dore.
