Gloom

The rain had stopped–for the most part.  As we sat at breakfast, Sylvia observed, “Another gloomy day.”  It is, and that makes it a typical winter day in west Michigan.

The good news is that the cloudy skies help retain warmth.  Our winters are milder than they would be otherwise.  To me that’s a good deal.

This reminds me of what the old New England yankee is said to have said, “I’f ya cahn’t stand tha wintahs, ya doe-n’t desuv the summahs.”

We had both of our vehicles in the shop this morning.  Each had a stone peck on the windshield.  Now, they’re fixed!

  1. I think I have worn my winter coat just once this year. Weird weather–so warm. It’s nice to see all the Christmas lights up though. Warmer weather = more lights. There is a theory though–the warmer it is when you put them up, the colder it is when you have to take them down. :haha:

    I love how they can patch those little chips in your windshield, don’t you? Such a GREAT invention!

    • That is an interesting theory. Must be truth behind it.

      Yes, I do love the way they can repair a windshield these days. :yea:

  2. Glad you got your windows fixed! And yep, warmer temps are def. not a bad thing. 🙂 :hkitty:
