I just can’t get enough of that beautiful blue sky. It’s been so long since we’ve seen it this regularly, and I’m enjoying it as much as possible.
What about you? Are you ready for winter to kiss us goodbye?

It’s another beautiful sunny day out there!
I just love that blue sky. And compared to the temps we’ve had lately, it’s downright balmy out there this afternoon!
Happy Friday, everybody! 🙂

Photo Friday: The good ol’ days
Today we revisit the summer of 2003, when I worked for the Reinbeck Courier with my bestest bud and was expecting a bubbly arrival:
Here we are, dancing in the street as the first rain we’d had in a good month or so fell freely from the sky. It was a beautiful day, and unbeknownst to us (at the time), our boss was watching from the window, camera in hand. This picture ran on the front page. We laughed.
Man, I had a good time that summer. It’s hard to beat doing a job you love with awesome people.
And nothing beats a good rain dance. 🙂
Don’t forget to check out Charnele’s throwback post! 🙂
Have you ever danced in the rain (literally, as above, or figuratively)?

The sky was a lovely shade of blue this morning, and I couldn’t help taking pictures:
There’s nothing quite as thrilling as the sight of a bright blue sky after a long winter. 🙂

My cats like to swarm when we leave the house. I think they’re laboring under the impression that if they swarm us enough times, we’ll give in to their demands to be let inside permanently, and if Seymour weren’t so horribly allergic, maybe we would.
They don’t play fair – there’s nothing more tempting than an adorable kitty cat. But I stayed strong in the face of such manipulation. They won’t stay mad at me for long, right? 😀

Here’s another picture from yesterday’s frigid excursion:
It looks like someone spent all night gluing glitter to my trees. It’s awesome. 🙂

I was pleasantly surprised this morning to find I’d awoken in a winter wonderland. Forced to brave the subzero cold, I at least had the pleasure of watching the snow sparkle in the sunlight as it clung to the trees:
I may grouse about winter an awful lot, but I can’t imagine a prettier sight than this after all the gray days we’ve had of late. 🙂

A gorgeous sunset capped off a gorgeous day yesterday:
The colors in the sky were almost as pretty as the colors the fading sun cast out on the snow. 🙂

Funny how much can change in a day, isn’t it? Driving into work yesterday looked like this:
Meanwhile, this morning was bright and sunny, and the few clouds in the sky added to the scene, rather than detracting from it. If it weren’t so blessed cold (we’re talking record lows), I’d say this is the kind of day that makes a person feel good to be alive, but since it is, I’ll leave you with something Bubbles said last night:
B: “When I got off the bus, I thought I was on Hoth.”
Kid’s not wrong… 🙂

It’s the snowpocalypse!
The snowpocalypse got off to a slow start this morning.
Well, that escalated quickly.
That’s right, we’re finally getting our share of snow here in the Midwest, and boy, do I wish the forecast had been right the first time. That forecast had most of the snow falling overnight, meaning I wouldn’t have to drive in it. But the revised forecast had it starting this morning, and it came pretty much when they said it would.
It hasn’t let up since.
I’ve been documenting it on Instagram all day, and I’ll probably post another picture just before I leave. Suffice it to say, we’ve had quite a bit of snow in a short amount of time, and it ain’t even close to over. *sigh*

Suddenly they all died. The end.
