So many people I know just hate winter! While autumn is my truly favorite season, I love winter too. It holds such promise. I collected a few quotes about winter:

I prefer winter and fall, when you feel the bone structure of the landscape. Something waits beneath it; the whole story doesn’t show. –Andrew Wyeth

While I relish our warm months, winter forms our character and brings out our best. –Tom Allen

If we had no winter, the spring would not be so pleasant: if we did not sometimes taste of adversity, prosperity would not be so welcome. –Anne Bradstreet

Clint took me on yet another picture taking trip to a conservation area about 10 miles from the house. As we drove around and into the area, I snapped a lot of pictures from the truck window and was thinking about how gloomy it looked. I figured all my pictures would turn out just being these gray blobs of stuff; the “stuff” of winter. But, ALAS… I found some great color out there. The colored stuff that holds the promise!

Love, live and cook in these days of winter, so you can get out and enjoy the warmth of spring!!

I’m married to a wonderful man and this is a second marriage for both of us. Between us we have 5 children and 4 grandchildren. After reading countless stories about how small businesses were not able to recover after the Joplin tornado, we feel called to help by offering managed IT services that will secure and backup data and make getting back in business a lot easier if another disaster should occur.
