I saw the sun too, briefly, just before it set. I finished work early yesterday and caught a glimpse of a big orange ball at the south horizon, lighting up an otherwise darkening turquoise-headed-towards-purple sky. Gorgeous!!! But so cold my face was stiff when I got home, just a mile-and-a-half up the road, and that was before it started blowing and snowing again. Today, on the other hand, the cold and snow has turned to rain. What a downer. But then I got home, sweaty from spin class and rain-drenched from the hike home, and what should greet me but a package from MomOnBike!!!! Hot chocolate Which shall I choose? Raspberry? Amaretto? Hazelnut? White Mocha? Here I sit, showered and suppered, cozy in my new snowflake-patterned smartwool socks. I'm gonna go put on a sweater and that bright red scarf (what a statement that is for a greying old "duck"! ), sip my cocoa ... and gloat. Well. DH can have cocoa too if he wants. We have plenty of ordinary cocoa he can mix up.

p.s. You are so right! There is no such thing as bad weather, only inadequate clothes. And sometimes adequate clothes means four well-insulated walls and a roof.
