O Winter! ruler of the inverted year, . . . I crown thee king of intimate delights, Fireside enjoyments, home-born happiness, And all the comforts that the lowly roof Of undisturb'd retirement, and the hours of long uninterrupted evening, know.
William Cowper

Beloved...
Just the title of your post gave me a quiet thrill....thank you Sandi, for the amazing words.
I've just looked them up and see that they are from William Cowper. I have come upon his words before and he seemed to have a gift for appreciating the small, domestic bits of life.
Only ten days until the Winter Solstice!
