896. snuggling oneself

green pachysandra
hunker down in winter’s brown
hugging themselves warm 🦊❤️

Pachysandra plants remain green in winter’s brownness.  Yet, whenever the temperatures plummet, they pull their leaves closer to themselves to conserve moisture and warmth. They are like the tiny alpine tundra plants that survive brutally harsh temperatures and winds. Today in the coldness is a good day for us to do the same. 🦊❤️
