Good Morning, Dear Universe – It’s a freezing rain morning here, so it will be slow-going to work this morning. Fortunately, I have only a few miles to drive. Of course, I’m thinking of my wife, as well; she’s already left, and her commute is a few miles more. This...

What If, Dear Creator? There is an overcast of gray clouds this morning. For a moment, though, this cloud cover blanketed across the sky was painted with fiery, glowing reds. A minute later, the red was subdued and fading. Two minutes after that, there was barely...

The Holidays, Dear Universe! I’m up early, for no reason other than I awoke at 3:30 a.m. and haven’t been able to fall back asleep. I still feel tired, and I’ve been pretty exhausted, so this is kind of a drag. A part of it, I suspect, is because of the plans of the...

Delight, Compassionate Creator! Rich, dark blue and violet overcast, this morning before dawn; the sky was in abrupt transition from this deep color above to a horizon of bright white. It was ominous. Then, for just a few minutes, the underside of the thick cloud...

Welcome, Winter! The rain I woke to yesterday morning transitioned over to snow, which continued for a good part of the day. It was a long time before it began to stick at all, so we didn’t get much accumulation here, but it was lovely watching the snow fall. This...

Soaking in Time, My Dear Creator! So, here we meet again. The weather’s changing, from the warmth and sunshine we experienced yesterday to rain and cold, shifting to snow, for a couple days. We’re close to the line for some possible accumulation, so we’ll see what...
