A Little Lighter

This morning was the first morning this winter where I went out and started my car early. Yesterday was cold and grey and blustery and today is predicted to be the same.

About twenty minutes or so into my commute, I travel a winding and hilly road that follows a small brook that cuts between mountains. For the first time in a month or more, I noticed that the tall pine trees on the mountaintops were faintly silhouetted against a dimly lit, but brightening, sky.

It is cold and blustery again outside - just as they predicted. I'm looking forward to being able to go on walks again - and not freezing, but I don't think that will be for a little while.

At least the days seem to be getting just a little bit longer.
