In Vermont, Sunglasses Are Winter Gear

This is the time of year when I am especially grateful for sunshine. I know, sunshine usually goes with summer. But it's the low, glaring winter light reflecting off the pure white snow that keeps me from winter depression. I can even handle the seemingly endless days of below-freezing temperatures so long as the sun shines and fills my house with bright white light. It helps that the days are a bit longer, too.

It makes this favorite Mormon hymn float through my head.

Normally it is pitch black here in the winter from 4:30 PM until about 8:30/9:00 the next morning. It makes you lose your determination to do anything other than watch an occasional movie and snuggle in bed. Last week it snowed and the moonlight reflecting off the snow has made it so much lighter, that you can't help but feel lighter inside, I have really enjoyed it. Thanks for pointing the winter light out.
