and if it's slightly warm when eaten

I have decided the colors of the grasses in the winter are the same as the colors of the warm winter spices. Ginger, cinnamon, nutmeg, allspice, cloves.

I want to to call the grasses red, until I see the red berries and that just seems confusing. "Rusty red" sounds like an old car and doesn't convey the softness of the grasses.

Warm winter spices though... that is perfect in my mind. Often while walking on a chilly morning, I am considering what to have for breakfast with my coffee when I get home. In the winter, anything with ginger, nutmeg, cinnamon, allspice, or clove is perfect, especially if it's in the form of a quick bread, and if it's slightly warm when eaten.

That first line is PERFECT and so spot on. You got me wondering a bit about the Spring/Summer herbs. Dill, basil, parsley? Maybe there is a reason certain spices/herbs are used seasonally?
