Winter Blues

Color is hard to come by in the city in the winter, until, it seems, you stumble into it accidentally, fully and completely. 

Thank you to the Home Depot Garden center...! Thank you to the baskets of citrus in the Associated Supermarket. Thank you to the warm glow of candles on the table, even to the deep browns of a bread loaf and the white branches of the beech tree across the street. 

Oh what a grim march it can be, oh how important the cuts of sun through the curtain, the moments of mulchy quiet in a greenhouse.

I'm thirsty for color that you might want to drape yourself in.
