It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade.”
—Charles Dickens,
English novelist, from “Great Expectations”

Like that, except it was kind of cold even in the sunshine.
I bought a book at Rey’s suggestion, and decided that as long as I had the day to myself I should read it. So I started – it does start well, and I was going. However, after about 40 pages or so I found myself sleeping, in the rocking chair. So I moved to the couch (futon laid out like a bed) where I could take a real nap.
I woke up next to the window looking up. It was sunny, and snowing. I could see the snowflakes coming down, lit by the sun. It was magical. At first just a few, and then more. When I looked a bit later, the sun had gone behind the snow clouds, so now the flakes were dark against the grey sky.
It is snowing this morning. That has been OK, it is the teens predicted tonight that have me worried – ice.

What book did you buy? I definitely didn’t suggest Great Expectations

The Man who was Thursday (or something close), by Chesterton.
I found a copy at Half Price books for 50 cents.
