It’s Monochrome Monday.

Monochrome Monday: Crocus, a photo by Ali Crehan on Flickr.

But on a day like today, when windows everywhere were flung open and the sunlight pirouettes from blade of grass to bloom of flower, how can I believe in a world without color?

I now know the perfect cure for a Monday: lie down in a sunny field full of crocuses. If you rise to your feet feeling no better, then there’s simply no helping you.
