Precious And Few

Sometimes, in the waning days of February, we Pacific Northwesterners need a little help.

Our winter days, already short and sun-deprived by our northern exposure, are further dulled by the seemingly constant layer of drab grey clouds. The lack of lively color and light can dull our spirits, to say the least.

^ So it's no wonder that we try to cheer ourselves with energetic displays of color and light, like this one that I found above my head at Whole Foods today. Such a sweet surprise to look up and love what I see.

^ However, this was one of the precious and few late-winter days when we didn't need the help.
