I understand the whole concept of Seasonal Affective Disorder. I don't much like dark days, except in early November when they are kind of a novelty after several seasons of brilliance.But in mid-February, the is a subtle shift in the angle of the sun that is akin to the amber light of late autumn. It is at this time when I seek color.
I recently bought two coats at late-season prices. One is a pumpkin colored long coat, the other a spice-colored short coat. I keep flowers at my desk, and today was pleasantly surprised when a friend sent me cream roses with pink edges in a pink fluted bowl.
Tonight I went to a business event and marveled at the beauty of the display pictured above of nearly every fruit and vegetable available in the midwest.
How can anyone be unhappy when we live in a world of such beauty?

Lovely display. I feel flowers brighten winter's dark days and keep my spirits bright.
Yes, that is what I think, too. This year I've had tulips, cala lilies, roses and primulas on my desk.
I must heartily agree... thanks for sharing the beauty/bounty in the image of that table.

Someone who does so much for others should have flowers every week, perhaps everyday.

Thanks for chiming in, Christi. I loved it all! Especially enjoyed my first taste of Ugli fruit. Delish! Who knew?
Thank you, Milkmaid. Flowers and food are my faves.
Lovely event!
Yes, it was, Anne, and the day after I went on the South Beach Diet Phase One, which allows no fruit. I am suffering!
Now, that's a show piece-eveyone who saw that display probably had their spirits lifted as well.....how beautiful!!
