I’m enjoying the conversation about Tolkien and literature we started yesterday. Here’s a bit of sunshine to go with that: early morning from my office window earlier this week. An unexpectedly bright, fresh day in what is traditionally a gloomy month.

barbara, don't we all? It's so easy to get gloomy in the gloom.
