It's Only A Day Away

The sky this morning seemed unsure whether it should snow or rain; so it decided to sun instead. (Yes, I did just knowingly make sun a verb.)

A friend was recently inquiring about my mood and health, knowing that Hailar is in a perpetual winter, and no doubt thinking such winter skies would be as dark and dismal as Minnesota's bleak winters. Ironically, here one needs to wear sunglasses and long johns simultaneously. The only days in which it does not sun (at least I'm being consistent...) are those in which it snows. And since snow is to me like can nip is to a kitty, I am energized even more so when clouds appear.

After a day of sun, the clouds returned tonight with determination and the snow began to fall. So although there may be little hope of warmth in the near future, I am blissful, knowing that the sun will come out tomorrow.
