A glimpse of summer

After another snow storm, and the prospect of sub-zero temperatures approaching in a few days, winter is quickly being fatiguing. Knowing that there is at least another two months of cold, gray gloominess wears on me mentally.

So, today, happiness is...

A glimpse of summer.

Corn fields...




Lily Lake in full bloom...





Last winter didn't last forever. I needed a reminder that this one won't either.

Go visit Leigh vs Laundry for The Happiness Project and post a photo of something that makes you very happy.

  2. I'm so sorry you're struggling with winter. I forget how dreary January is. I grew up in Idaho, but now we live in sunny AZ, and frankly, we LIVE for January and February. Visiting from the Happiness Project.

  6. I live in Scotland and we have dark dreek days here alot of the time and covered in snow too at times. I keep going back into my garden archive pictures looking at how much colour there was during the Spring and Summer.......... I can't wait for those days to come back again.

  7. Oh I love those photos. Not a whole lot of green anything around here (NV). :) I think I am seeing some spring around here too- it's 80 on my porch today.

  9. Not to make you jealous (oh, what the heck!), it's 80 today, and it was 85 yesterday. I always call my MN cousin to tell her when we're having unusually nice weather.

    That reminds me...
