I spend a lot of time alone, and probably do too much thinking. Memories come out of the blue, especially in the dark months, and then spring is the time of reflection and change for me. I'm pleased these two grabbed your heart, Adi. I know how "Among the Ruins" makes me feel, but I didn't expect it would translate as well as it appears to have done. That windmill on the hill feels like a friend.
I would never want to live without seasons either, Adi. Thanks for the support and the kind words. I hope life is treating you well, my friend. Cheers!
