A Gray Kind of Day

Gray and dreary. These two words describe our weather the past few days and likely the next few as well. It feels like fall except that the leaves are still green. I reach for long sleeves and a sweatshirt most mornings and find that I am much less likely to venture outside the house. I'm waiting for the sun to come out from behind the heavy laden clouds which hover low in the sky, but fear my wait may last several days more. The dampness makes me long for a fire in the wood stove and a cup of something hot to drink.
