Day 9 of 30: Winter is quickly approaching

First snow fall of 2008 - Friday November 7th.

Can you believe it?!

I mean, I know we live in Chicagoland and it's November, but can't you wait until at least December, Mother Nature?!

I do not lie; I was working, sitting at my desk with a window view. I was walking back from the bathroom and I noticed white flakes quickly trying to make their way to the ground, which fortunately was a little to warm for the flakes because upon touching down, they melted immediately. Thankfully.

I don't know about you, but I'm just not ready for the snow. Part of me wishes that we lived somewhere warmer, but the other part of me thinks that Christmas just wouldn't be Christmas without the cold weather. Not to mention, all (or most) of your friends and family are here.

In my perfect world, the weather would be a nice sixty degrees, with leaves on trees matching the beautiful hues of fall weather.

I just love Fall.

I only wish it would stay around consistently for more than a month tops.

It's been flurrying ever since Friday on and off. Still nothing sticking, but it is awfully cold if you're outside for more than, oh 30 seconds. Which makes walking the dog three times a day brutal.

What is your favorite season and why? Do you like snow? Where would you move if you could pick anywhere your little heart desires?

Rainbows

It was kind of rainy yesterday. In the evening it's usually pretty bright out on a good day. Yesterday, it decided to get really dark out of nowhere and I had to actually turn the light on in the living room.

Then it got bright again.

A little bit later, part of the sky was dark and just a little line was really bright.

Kind of weird.

But I did get to see a rainbow. And when I was admiring it and snapping some shots, I noticed there was another rainbow forming to the right of it.

These pictures don't do what they sky looked like justice. Not even the rainbows.

Which brings me to the fact that I need want a new camera.

But that's a whole 'nother issue in itself. :-)

See the line of lightness right above the trees? Now imagine it a little bit darker outside, above that. That's what it really looked like.

I just thought this was a neat picture. The darkness with a bit of the rainbow.

Somewhere over the rainbow

Actual rainbow outside our window tonight! Photo compliments of my Mister :-)

We've had really bad weather here today. It was fine in the morning, then downpoured like crazy and stormed really bad. Then it semi cleared up and got windy and then it stormed a bit again! It's been nuts! On my way home from work it was getting a bit dark and yellow-ish looking outside. When I got inside, Ryan spotted a rainbow outside. Isn't it so pretty?!
