I woke to sunshine this morning. Just after noon, I walked to do two errands and the sun was very warm. Fruit trees are in bloom this week. Apples, crab apples and cherries in the neighbourhood are all very pretty. By mid-afternoon, cloud cover arrived and blocked the sun. Forecasts state that we will get some rain over the next two days. The amount is unclear -- but it will be grey, wet and humid for the next few days. In terms of household chores, I organized a number of books to donate to the local library fund-raiser this weekend. Several reusable shopping bags have been filled and there are a couple of smaller boxes. It will take several trips to get them into the donation room, but that will provide some of my daily exercise <smile>.
I find it interesting how the sunshine -- or lack thereof -- can affect my mood. I feel more hopeful when I see the sun. I enjoy cloudy days, too, but when they occur for two weeks at a time, it drags down the mood. <smile> Walking in the sunshine can be fantastic except when very hot in the summer months. Walking in the rain can be refreshing, though not when it falls horizontally due to the wind <grin>.
Many songs have been written about sun, clouds and rain. The lyric I heard today is from a wonderful song from a few decades ago. The first line was the one I heard running through my head this morning. Take care. Enjoy!
Sunshine Superman -- Donovan
