Funny Thing About that Sun

Yesterday was a sunny day. In the winter, this always means some very cold weather. Because the clouds are what trap any small bit of warmth there might be, like putting a blanket over the whole land, and then when the blanket is taken away, off goes all that warmth and in comes the cold air.

BUT.

We have gotten to the point in the year in which the sun is starting to have a little bit of heat to it. So it was 15 degrees yesterday, but I still put a hat on Cubby and took him outside with me to sit in the sun and watch the dogs frolic for 10 minutes or so. I figured we'd better get our vitamin D fix while we could, as the forecast for the foreseeable future involves nothing but clouds and the chance of snow. I also figured we'd better take advantage of any small opportunity to get out of the house and those same four rooms that have been traversed approximately four thousand times.

It was a nice little vacation. Back to the clouds (and those four rooms) today.

    There will surely be tiny little ruts across all the floors before long from all that Cubby traversal.

    I don't blame you. Go outside and suck up that sunshine while you can!

    I wore a sleeveless dress today because the weather here is OFF THE RAILS. Seriously, it's 70s degrees right now.

    Which means that February is going to be cold, wet and mean - but whatever.
