“Just living is not enough," said the butterfly, "one must have sunshine, freedom, and a little flower.” 
― Hans Christian Andersen, The Complete Fairy Tales

this quote sure rings true in the middle of winter!!! Even just seeing photos of flowers in the sunshine, gets me excited for the upcoming spring...i will try to enjoy the winter too though, since i'm sure we have a good 3 more months of it here in idaho!
