Brett and I play a game called “Cloud.” The first person to see a cloud says “Cloud!” and points it out. Sounds like a real boring game. But it can be real tough because there aren’t often clouds around. We have a lot of blue sky sunny days, the days that make people talk about how beautiful the weather is.
But variety can be beautiful too. Stormy skies. Fog. Snow. Rain. Rainbows. Big fluffy white clouds. Whispy clouds. Variety is a good thing. A beautiful thing.
All this is to say that I’m missing some cooler temperatures right now, some beautiful fall and winter weather. The kind that make you pull out the heavy blanket for the bed. The kind that has you snuggling up under a blanket on the couch with a cup of hot chocolate. The kind that calls for soups for dinner. The kind that lets me get out my sweaters or my lovely coats and enjoy being all wrapped up.
So those of you who are “suffering” through some fall and winter weather right now, enjoy the variety.
Cloud!

We love to look for shapes of things in the clouds.
I love our cold nights. It is so much fun to snuggle up under the covers!
I always like the first snowfall of the year. Then I’m OK with it going away. Then January comes. :snow: :brett:
One thing I love about Virginia is the variety of seasons. Of course, this year winter decided to just come all at once in one weekend, but usually things are a little more spread out. It’s going to be interesting to experience winter somewhere new, and possibly warmer, next year!
