I have beautiful daffodils in my kitchen and living room right now so I know spring can’t be too far away, right? If the grocery store tells me daffodils and hyacinths are right around the corner, it must be true! (Then again, these are the same people putting out poinsettias the day after Halloween.)
For now we’ve got snow, icicles, slush, and a whole lot of potholes. But if you look closely you’ll see some really beautiful examples of the winter. The white snow makes a fantastic canvas for ice-covered berries and dried wildflowers. For those of you who love the cold, relish in this time of crispness and cable-knit sweaters. For the rest of us who can’t wait for the warm weather, don’t fret – Trader Joe’s tells me it’ll be here in no time!

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape – the loneliness of it, the dead feeling of winter. Something waits beneath it, the whole story doesn’t show.
