Happy Bench Monday!

I stole the image from J. R. Ackerley, Laura, although I don't think he used it to describe winter. I think of it every winter. though. There are many evergreens in the region here, but London seems to have concentrated on deciduous trees. I'd never noticed that before, so thanks for pointing that out. The green we get in winter is from the many temperature swings as the jetstream swings back and forth across the lower Great Lakes. We've had lots of snow on the ground for the last couple of weeks. but it's expected to thaw over the next few days.
