RE: Ice on the leaves

Although I disagree with your passionate hate of winter, I have been coming to understand why that’s the case.

Jack Kruse is someone you should listen to. He talks so much about the sun and how important it is for our bodies. What you need in terms of sunlight is different because of how dark your skin is compared to mine. I think it’s a physiological reaction to not getting enough sun that’s making you this way and it makes sense. Our body tells us what it needs!

Because you are living where you are - you should look into getting a sun-mimicking lamp. They are not too expensive on Amazon but they are a good way to give our bodies partial exposure to some of the wide array of spectrums of light that the sun generates! I think this could help you and your wife a lot while you are living there.

It wont replace it entirely, but it should help improve your bodies during the colder months. Give it some research!
