Is that the sun?

After days of overcast skies and scattered rain showers, the sun is finally peeking from its hiding place, lending a bit of warmth to ward off the cold wind. It's about time, especially after spying Cuchi this morning lying on the tiled floor with her back on the kitchen door shivering. She elected to sleep there over the comfort of her own crib. Crazy dog!

The wind has been merciless. Its mild strength bent countless branches to submission and the resistant to topple to the ground in disgrace (or Cuchi was the culprit). The kids at school reveled in wearing their bonnets and jackets. Whereas I had the most difficult time getting out of bed and taking a shower.
