Cool day

Icicles formed in my beard as we walked this morning. A stern wind out of the north turned my cheeks the color of a blush and made me thankful I'd thought to slip on my gloves. But walking briskly in cooler weather felt good.

The grey shroud overhead gave me an idea of how the skies in Bejing must look like on most days. I wasn't convinced  the sun would ever shine again.

But this afternoon when we were loading our car to go to our monthly songwriter meeting, the clouds parted and the winter sun felt warm on my neck.

By the time we got home most of the heavy clouds had swept off to the east leaving a beautiful evening sky.

Both Jilda and I have made headway on our goals we set for the new year.  I hope your weekend has been a good one.

    It looks like a distorted ghost face in the sky in this picture Rick. It almost looks alien, lol.
    have a great day.

  4. Brrrrrr....
    Made me cold to read about the icicles in your beard.
    So glad that the afternoon was a wee bit warmer.
    I love to feel the sun shining on me on a cold day. Feels like a heater in the sky. I guess that it actually is!
