A Cruel Trick

As we await low land snow fall, I think back to last Saturday.  What a beautiful day, over 70 degrees in North Bend, the warmest since a freak heatwave in first week of November.  We spent a good deal of the day out of doors enjoying the heat and sun.  But as the evening turned to night and the sun slipped below the horizon, a bit of melancholy slipped in, as I knew it was not to last.  The forecast was for rain and indeed snow.  It seems a bit harder to enjoy or be ambivalent about the cold and rain as you get older.  Still last Saturday was beautiful and a day to remember at least until the rain stops and the warm summer sun arrives.
