Winter Rain

The arctic cold has departed for now.

The temperature climbed into the 40s today;

tomorrow it is to be in the 70s.

And that means winter rain.

I don't mind rain,

and in the winter, I find it more appealing than snow and ice.

I found this quote by the 19th-century art critic John Ruskin:

that puts it all in perspective:

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing,

wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;

there really is no such thing as bad weather,

only different kinds of good weather.
