Winter

I love the snow, I really do...I'm a born and bred Buffalonian. But I find as I get older I really miss the summer. Maybe it's the sunlight...or more specifically the lack of it this time of year. When it starts to get dark at 4:30 in the afternoon it can bring me down sometimes. At any rate, I was shoveling the sidewalk today and caught sight of a few herbs poking through the snow. They're beautiful, I think. And their stubbornness to succumb to the cold is inspiring.
