Yesterday was gray. The sun never made even an attempt to show its face. We had a winter storm pass through with all the trimmings. The day started cold, ended cold and had cold in between. Sleet was the precipitation that came with the storm so a nice coating of ice ruled. The day was gray...just gray.
Today, however, started cold with the temperatures in the teens but it did not matter. Mr. Sun was in all his glory! The bright sunrays chased away thoughts of cold even though the thermometer said it did not want to participate. So, what did I do with this abundance of sunshine? I uncovered the garden. The cabbages that I did not cover fared well so I figured that the entire garden needed sunshine as much as I did. Everything is now out in the open even though we are expected to have a few more days of cold.
While I was toting an armload of kindling for the old woodstoves, I noticed the sun making pretty with the window panes in the french doors. The floor was covered with rainbows from the prisms. What a happy, colorful sight after the gray of yesterday. Today was colorful! In fact, it was every color splashed all over the floor! Oh, Mr. Sun! Thank you ever so much. It is too bad you have to disappear again tomorrow.
Yep, we are in for yet more storms complete with high winds, possible hail and tornadoes. Then...more cold. The Bayou just cannot catch a break from storms! At least, these are winter storms and not hurricanes! Oh, please....NOT YET!
