Musings on a Small Life

In spite of all the weather forecasts for a "traditional" Canadian winter, so far, what we've had more of is grey skies, fog, freezing rain, rain, and a slushy, snowy mess. It's like living in Halifax all over again, without the proximity to salt water. Early yesterday morning coming in to work. Right now I would take cold temps and sunshine over this. We had one glimpse of the late afternoon setting sun a few days ago (snapped from my bedroom window).

The boys after work yesterday.   A slight brightening of the endless grey, for this snapshot of Derry. I wish everyone a colourful day!
