Winter evenings

Sometimes I really enjoy winter evenings, and not just the "Currier Ives" fresh snow variety. Sometimes I like nights like this, when there's no snow around, and Spring has barely begun to add little dashes of green amongst all the brown and gray. When there's a chill mist in the air and I'm inside with a good book, surrounded by sleepy puppies, it's a tranquil moment worth savoring.
