baby, it's cold outside...

IT'S ACTUALLY COLD OUTSIDE!!!! *happy dance* This is the first time that it's really felt like January. I mean, it's about time that we stopped having 70 degree weather, dontcha think? In fact, it was cold enough this morning for it to start sleeting! Some of it gathered in the folds/creases/corners/whateveryou'resupposedtocall'ums of our roof, creating shallow blankets--*cough* very Very VERY shallow--of whiteness--albeit a rather dirty shade--that stood in sharp contrast to the black of the roof. That's probably the most white I'm gonna see together for a long time =P

I don't know what it is about cool weather that I like... However, I happen to have a sneaking suspicion that it might possibly have to do with the fact that I hate oppressive, humid weather with a passion =P There are other reasons as well, of course =D I love how the sky seems clearer and bluer than ever before, and how it looks almost as if it has been newly starched and ironed out. I love how you can almost hear the air crinkling like wrapping paper. And I guess I just like the crisp, nippy wind that bites through your clothes and makes your cheeks flush and your eyes sparkle. The only downside is your nose turns a beautiful shade of bright, cherry red. Or at least, mine does anyway.. =P

Oh yay, it's raining again. *sighs* Isn't it such a lovely thing to be lulled to sleep by the constant tapping of raindrops on your windowpane? They always seems to be drumming out a beautiful lullaby of some kind, one that was once known but has since been forgotten. If only I could catch the words...
