I'm thinking of warmer days in my neighborhood this morning.

Our wedding day in the park next door - June 22nd, 2012.

The same park today - February 10th, 2014.

I really want to grow sunflowers in our garden this year. We'll have a plot again with The Peterson Garden Project. I've been daydreaming about what to do with it.  

I love the change of the seasons - though it can be hard on the spirit to trudge through these cold days. Everything is temporary. Sometimes remembering this and planning for greener, warmer times helps with the seemingly endless chill in the bones.
