It’s mid-winter in my world. And right now it means cold, gray, and snowy. As I sit at my kitchen table, tappity tapping my thoughts, I watch the snowflakes and the temperature fall. A chance of flurries covers the ground. I understand the term, “the dead of winter.”

I reach for my cup of hot morning brew, thankful for it’s warmth. A bird, then two, then 6 come to the feeders. In the woods, I hear spring songs.

The whiteness of the snow and the dark shades of the trees seem to amplify a monochromatic scheme. There are shades and tones rather than color. Part of that is due to the Great Lake called Erie. It gives NE Ohio cloud cover for more days than not, it seems. If one looks carefully, though, colors pop. It’s really wonderful when that happens, I think.
