Added 2023-12-20 15:31:27 +0000 UTCToday is the eve of Winter. The glorious sunrise this morning with my sparkling fields of frost and the vibrantly illuminated sky is foreshadowing the months of cold ahead, but it sent a vivid picture today reminding us that the harsh weather also carries a beauty all her own. Have you taken time to notice how the sky appears clearer and brighter the colder it is? …the colors are more radiant and the frost shields the landscape as if to mute any surrounding distractions, silently coaxing our eyes to shift upwards to nature’s etherealism. Winter always arrives with unique challenges and discomforts for me and life on my farm, but it also brings low humidity, which makes for crystal clear skies that glow along the horizon. The shining frost of tiny ice crystals sparkling below the warm sky send my soul a spark of fuel as if providing me with an intangible, celestial message that amongst the discomforts of seasons are glimpses of unseen, ever changing, but unique and irreplicable sources of earthly awe.
