Day 319

There was so much gray today... gray skies, gray wind, gray news... I needed to find some beauty somewhere among it all.  Walking through the yard with my head tucked to avoid the biting air, I lifted it to see this pop of color in front of me.  Dried hops remain, having turned a vibrant orange.  I have never before seen them this color.  Starting a soft melon green, they dry to a pale yellow.  But today they showed that with time, they became even more beautiful.
