I didn't have my glasses on.... 
I’m just wishing for our spring sunshine to hit the boardwalk soon …

wow, you’ve still got something with leaves? Ours have come down in a great hurry these last days. Beautiful quote – love it!
PS – Last night it snowed a bit, just enough to put some pre-Advent ‘sugar coating’ on the bushes and shrubs, lawns and roofs. Lovely!

we are in late Spring here, Beth, and I make sure I spend a few afternoons a week out in the open air, down at the beach, sun hat on, of course 🙂

So true! I’ve resolved to embrace late fall and winter this year. I forced myself to go out for a walk twice this week on my lunch hour and was so glad I did. Nothing beats fresh air!

I like the winter sun. It shines right into my computer room and warms it up. No need to step outside. 🙂

I think I remember sunshine. It’s bright and leaves shadows, right? You can drive without the lights on. Vaguely familiar

Spent some time each of the last two days riding in the woods, on the trails I ride several times a week all summer. With all of the leaves down, the woods are a much brighter, more spacious place. I love seeing what I missed behind the leaves!
