February slides into place, the chilly air takes on ice; what was new, fun to explore -- now, not so nice. The urge to get out and about, feel sunshine's sway set into motion -- builds up need -- by one really nice day. Thoughts linger on the garden a bit, the taste of fresh produce on the tip of the tongue excites the taste buds, begins to induce a yearning, a longing, for the freshness -- the sweetness -- of spring, new leaves on trees, red and white flow'ring and new songs to sing. Days yet cloudy make that fireplace hearth a nice place to stand as we dream about sunshine, start tilling that land in our mind. Sometimes in winter, a brief break is nice -- time to rekindle the fire, rejuvenating those coals from that early, dark morning hour. Starting those beans with some onion, garlic, hock of holiday ham -- making sourdough bread for some sweet butter and jam, and the comforting savor of an enticing entre made with a yam.
