It's been cloudy all day. It was raining when I woke up, and it's continued, intermittently, all day long. It's not monsoon rain, interesting clouds making raucous noises as the lightning streaks and amazes. Nope, it's just a low, grey blob, no real shape at all, as far as the eye can see.
Occasionally, there's a patch of blue which lures us outside .... to freeze. It's 42 degrees out there. Running into the grocery store for a loaf of bread without taking my scarf (at least) and my jacket (the one with sleeves) was a big mistake.
The clerk gathering stray carts and I shared a look of utter dismay. Like Miss Clavell in the middle of the night, I thought something is not right.
Last week I contemplated turning on the pool heater; today, I'm wearing heavy sweatpants and a flannel shirt. I was going to bbq dinner; instead, I'm contemplating making a pot roast.
The Doula and The Kibbitzer are arriving for an annual hiking and biking two week vacation. Every time they come, the sun disappears, taking with it the warmth. I love seeing them, but I'm wondering if I should steer them elsewhere........
You are having our typical February weather! Actually it's a balmy 45 here.
