Beginning To See The Light

Sitting outside during lunch.  Watching the sky, filled with dark gray clouds rolling past.  Thinking to myself how even the most gloomy of days can be beautiful if you only take the time to stop, look, and enjoy.  Suddenly, a break in the cloud cover.  A ray of sunlight warms my face.  Causing me to smile.

(note: I wrote this yesterday during my lunch break and tried to send it via my cell phone, but it wouldn't post)

A Hazy Shade of Winter



"Look around, leaves are brown,

And the sky is a hazy shade of winter."

~ Paul Simon



A Cold Day

It's a cold day. 

One of those first cold days of autumn to remind me that winter isn't far behind. 

The kind of day when gray clouds drift across the blue background of the sky.  The wind whistles past the windows, and sends the autumn leaves dancing through the air. 

A good day to have a mug of soup for lunch.

Or curl up with a cup of hot tea and a good book.   

Or maybe some coffee and something on the Netflix. 

Or some warm mulled cider and a crochet project.

The type of day that leaves me looking forward to the cold evening to come.  Some warm pj's, my favorite fluffy robe, and snuggling up to The Man of the House.
