When I woke up this morning and saw that it was cloudy, I thought to myself, “Thank GOD. It’s been too bright and hot lately.” I’m totally excited for the rains to start this year. Andreas and I are getting our new oil (biodiesel!) furnace installed in a couple weeks, and it’s going to be a cozy, warm winter. And yes, I know it’s stupid to be excited about this in August, but I hate late summer and thinking about a dark, rainy winter is all that gets me through my doldrums.
