There's the sun! Summer is here! Here in the north, summer hardly gets any announcement, not even a fresh green run-up. No, spring here is limited to the melting of winter and the lakes slowly transforming back to a liquid state. Around the end of...
Today I'm not entirely sure whether it's spring or autumn as the rain keeps pouring down and the air is damp and bleak. I've lit some candles to spread a bit of warm light and the scent of cinnamon. The lake behind our home is...
