The new coating of snow was bright when the sun finally came out today, but then that meant the temperatures dropped. The sun would be shining something different in six months, like these sunflowers.

With a few more days to go in a very long string of cloudy days, I could use some color, even if from some yellow dandelion weeds.

The rain which is melting the snow is creating some dense fog so no sunshine to be found. And even if it is above freezing, there are no flowers or butterflies to be found in January around here unless inside.

There was rain today, but it wasn’t leaving raindrops on flowers on a warm summer day. Instead the rain polished the driveway back to ice as the rain melted the snow which was covering the ice layer.

The sun was out bright today, reflecting off the new coating of snow but as most typical clear January days, it was a cold one so not as pleasant hiking day. A July hike through a field of summer wildflowers sounds like a better option to me.

New white is covering the ground again today, although it is from snow and not summertime white daisies. Daisies always remind me of summer, which is not on the horizon in the near future.

The sun may be out but it is just barely above freezing and there no green grass or open water on the pond as everything is coated in snow and ice. Six months might not be a long time in the history of the universe, but it makes a big difference in the seasonal temperatures.

A half year can make a world of difference as instead of green grass and trees full of leaves, cattle are staring at a white world and trying to stay out out of the wind with wind chills dipping to minus forty.

At least when it is cloudy and raining in the summer, there might be a chance to see a rainbow. Cloudy and snowing in the winter doesn’t give you any color in the sky.

The bright yellow and orange flowers provide a cheerful display on a summer day.
