Glowing Orb

It's been a long cold lonely winter. I've been hibernating, with too much of this...

And each day looks like this...

Mid-day gloom...

The view from each window ...

The apathy is such that Tess was playing in the snow on the porch, and didn't even bother with the enthusiastic donning of snow-bibs, hat, scarf, mittens, and just wandered out in her pajamas.

However...

I was rewarded the today with a glowing orb of my very own!

Can you hear it?
