Winter is really a time for rest, when we should be eating what we have stored from our summer labors. Instead we have life at the same pace 365/24/7. <BR/><BR/>One of the reasons we came to California for winter was for the sunlight. It's amazing what even the low angle of the sun can do for the psyche. Vitamin D is a very good thing!<BR/><BR/>Those fossils are grand.robin andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13390482190562312928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7757093280387768593.post-22857742839930696852008-02-05T07:31:00.000-05:002008-02-05T07:31:00.000-05:00Mary--I think those of us who love to be outdoors ...Mary--I think those of us who love to be outdoors interacting with nature, whether by gardening, pond tending or exploring, feel the loss in winter as a void more than a dislike of temperature or appearance.

Ugh, gray winter days! (and no snow to brighten them)<BR/><BR/>Marvin--Yes! A warm night, but cold and only reaching the 20s this coming weekend.
