Five degrees at 8:30am, with a triumphant, choir-of-angels after-the-rain sunrise.
"The pessimist complains about the wind; the optimist expects it to change; the realist adjusts the sails."
William Arthur Ward (1921-1994), American author of witty aphorisms for such august journals as Reader's Digest. It's not Dante, it's not Goethe and it's not even Wordsworth, but it is to think about.
The mountains & the lake, people & places, children & chickens, frescoes & felines, barbera & books.
