I appreciate winter.  I have respect for this powerful season and marvel at each blade of frosted grass and tiny ice crystal.  I think there is nothing more graceful than daybreak on a snow-covered landscape and always feel a little guilty when I have to mar its beauty with my footprints.
 Still, the shorter days full of hazy darkness leave me longing to batten down the hatches around four in the afternoon.  While I adore the coziness that comes from being confined with the ones I love the most within arms reach and relish in the comfort of my fuzzy socks and trusty bathrobe, I find myself missing the one thing that January isn’t willing to provide…an abundance of color.
