I borrowed this from Sir Google - a Sunshine Wallpaper designed to lift your spirits

 and make your computer screen glow!  

I am considering pulling down the window blind and pretending I am in a little capsule of sunshine,

 shutting out the dreary lowering sky.  

 And maybe even blowing up this wonderful summery picture to poster size

 and attaching it to the inside of the blind.....

Here, in town, I thought about 'The Sunny Side of the Street'

and although there isn't any sunny side of the street

these dismal February days

I nevertheless started humming it - cheerily.

Here is Benny Goodman and his Jazz Sextet, with Peggy Lee

recorded on Christmas Eve, 1941

Does it make you smile?

This lovely Jasmine came to live with us on Valentine's Day

I go to check on the wonderful oven odours emanating from the freshly baked bread

and as I pass the Jasmine its glorious summery scent wafts 

me into the kitchen

I think these soulful  smells and  sights will have to suffice

until February decides to play host to blue skies and sunshine again.

I understand there are Robins in the vicinity!!!!!
