Peppers
Here I am, looking out my window, watching the snow flutter down from the sky. My next door neighbor is fighting a losing battle with his shovel. As soon as he clears a small patch of driveway the snow relentlessly returns covering the black patch of asphalt with a fresh white cover. While I am warm inside the house, it is a cold 30 degrees outside. My neighbor is bundled up with layers of clothing, two hats, and a pair of gloves that look like he just got off the moon lander.
So why pick the peppers to display on the left? Good question. The answer is simple. The warm colors of the sweet peppers in this image remind me of Summer salads, warm days at the beach, picnics in the woods. I recall tropical sunsets, broiling days in the desert, hikes and bicycles. Anything to keep me from thinking about the snow and the cold. So I offer you Peppers. Perhaps it will do the same for you.
