An Average Day in the Winter

Yes I do realize that according to the calendar 

it is not winter. It feels like winter.

This is the same weather we have off and on

from autumn through spring.
As far as I'm concerned this is winter.
Rainy and gloomy, although

I hear sun is coming our way this week -

actually the correct description is partly cloudy.

I went outside this morning to find some color
and was struck by how vibrant the yellows
are right now.

The flower bed currently looks like this.

Earlier this year it looked like this.

Quite the contrast and honestly I hate how it looks now

so I had to look for the beauty in it now.
