On a day like this, I like to look through my photos from summertime, especially the pictures of my parents' camp, where every photo shows tanned family members enjoying sunny weather. This photo shows Dandelion Niece, riding home in her Dad's boat, after swimming at one of our favorite islands. When I've been cold all day, I like to look at a photograph like that. I am remembering what it feels like spend hours on a rock that has gathered sunheat, the warmth penetrating my skin, my whole body heated through until I welcome the chill of the wind.

ahh, only six more months until it's warm enough to go out boating in tshirt and bathing suit...
It's pretty chilly here too, but we can expect it to warm up soon. Still, the mug of hot chocolate I'm sipping right now tastes pretty good after being outside for awhile this afternoon.
Thanks for the summery image--it's freezing cold here in the south; I can only imagine what it's like where you are!
Thinking of you on this last day before the long hard month ahead. I hope this February will bring you some joy.
I was cold all day today, in spite of my warm clothes and a heated home. Winter is tough. Good suggestion to think of summertime. Except if I think of summertime in Brazil, which is right now -- I just refuse to think "oh, what if I were there..." :)
A small space heater in the office works wonders for cold feet!
That last image warmed me right through all the layers. Good ending. Good build-up to the ending.

What a great photo!
Bardiac: I might just have to look into getting a space heater ....
Is it mean of me to mention that its supposed to be 70 on Saturday and 78 on Sunday? I hope to have two boys running on the beach this weekend.
