picture this

The weather has been beautiful the last few days. It rained on Friday and Saturday, leaving gorgeous grey and white clouds and crisp blue skies on Sunday.
















I'm not sure the photo does it justice, but the skies reminded me of the summer I spent in the mountains of North Carolina, and the ways in which clouds would roll in like this each afternoon. I just have to pretend that the weather is thirty degrees or so warmer than it is, and the illusion almost holds.

I've been thinking lately that I ought to carry a camera more often. If I did, I might also be posting pictures of . . .

- the mountains in the east half covered in snow

- a duck standing with a befuddled expression in the middle of a large puddle on campus

- a car in my parking lot with its front end completely crushed and a license plate frame reading, "Don't come too close; I'm not that kind of car" (well, I probably wouldn't post this, but I might have photographed it)

- my friend's 5-month-old, obscenely cute labrador retriever puppy

I'd give you a thousand words for each, but I'm waaay too sleepy.
