There is one flower in the corner of the yard. It only blooms once in a while, briefly giving over to color instead of the drab green and brown. It stands tall though, taller than the ones around it, and they seem cluster close together around the sturdy stem. Their vibrant colors in varying shades only makes to highlight the tall one, a beautiful setting for it to live.

Snaps and pops punctuate the crackling flames. Mesmerizing to watch, tongues of fire lap the edges of the logs. The heat radiates out, waves of color and warm, bathing the room before it. The cat is curled up on the chair, snoozing in the comfort of home.
You're doing short vignettes here and they work as vignettes. I'm less sure that they work as examples of your voice managing to be in your stuff, though 'I' is excluded.
