@Katherine Nicolai : 我过去常常认为冬季单调乏味,只有寒冷和冰雪。但实际上,冬季拥有许多值得期待的美好事物。清晨的空气清新而令人振奋,我贪婪地呼吸着它,就像春天闻到紫丁香或夏天闻到番茄藤的味道一样。日落时分,天空会变得格外明亮,橙色的光线透过窗户照射进来,驱散冬日的沉闷,让人感到活力十足。这鼓励我走出户外,呼吸新鲜空气,享受冬日的美好。 融雪后的几天,我穿着泥泞的靴子走在街上,却丝毫不在意,因为我沉浸在观察树梢上的鸟巢和蜂巢的乐趣中。一只红衣主教在枝头歌唱,我仿佛听到它在对我说:‘哦,人类,还不错嘛!’。几天后,路面干了,人们都出来享受这难得的好天气。穿着毛衣的狗狗,骑着自行车的孩子们,我们互相挥手致意,脸上都洋溢着轻松愉悦的笑容。 冬至以来,白昼变长了大约30分钟,这感觉像是上天赐予的礼物。每天傍晚,我都能多欣赏一会儿后院松树的景色。过去,天一黑我就感到疲惫,匆匆吃完晚饭就上床睡觉。现在,有了额外的时光,我放慢了生活的节奏,翻阅食谱、浇花、泡茶,享受生活中的点滴美好。 在接下来的冬季里,我计划去溜冰场溜冰,欣赏傍晚的灯光;参加电影节,观看各种类型的电影;种植大丽花,期待它们盛开;制作蓝莓酱曲奇,搭配咖啡一起享用。此外,我还计划进行一些其他的活动,例如解谜、看老电影、在雪地里远足、观察早起的太阳等等。冬季并非单一感受,它包含了丰富多彩的体验,值得我们去细细品味。
