Color certainly makes me happy. And that happiness is, by reason of the season approaching us, soon to come to a screeching halt. That’s one of the worst parts of Winter for me – well, among many to be honest – the sheer lack of color. White, black, gray…big Whoop…not much of a color pallet. Not to me, it isn’t.

Okay, so we get the occasional flash of red – faces getting angry having to be exposed to frigid weather while scraping windshields or shoveling sidewalks. Hands bitterly cold, right before they sink into the dead white of severe frostbite – but other than that? Not much to speak of.

Do I sound as if I have a rather harsh view of winter? Hmmmm….so it does. And so I do.
