Glorious! If I didn't know better, I would think summer has returned. Or at least a very amenable fall. Everyone is outdoors. Neighbors are smiling and chatting. Hearts are filled with joy and good will. After all the gloomy rain, this reprieve lightens steps and workloads and expectations. Dogs bark, birds sing, flowers bloom again, grass greens up. Makes me long for the days when we lived 3 miles from the Mexican border and even in the winter the sun kissed our faces and warmed our backs.
What is this strange effect that the color blue has on us? Or is it the color yellow sun? Can the sun touch our world in ways like the moon, causing tides to flow and cycles to repeat? Would it be fair to say that just as the full moon brings out all the weird behavior, the full sun brings out all the happiness?
Whatever the cause, I hope it lasts for a long while. I hope I can store it up for the long winter's night when I am cooped indoors and face a frozen tundra of white. Blue over white. I'll take the blue for as long as I can. Meanwhile, I make every excuse to get outside. Oh, Sugar!
