I saw the sun...

...and now it is gone. England got a whole day of sunshine on Saturday and it was all people could talk about. The sky was blue, the sun was shining and people began to feel hope that Spring was on the way. Martin and I were no exception. We went to the garden centre to get ready for our spring gardening and spent the afternoon cleaning out pots and putting in new flowers. We made plans for the next day to spend it in the park, with a picnic and the paper and that night the main topic of conversation was "wasn't it a wonderful day!?" It all ended the next morning. We woke up and the sky was gray again with no hint of the sunshine we had seen the day earlier. Our plans for the park were tossed aside and we spent the day in doors with the paper instead. This week's forecast? Cloudy skies with chance of rain.

I think the most interesting thing about our day of sun was it made me realize how much the weather effects our moods. I woke up happy and energetic and wanted to spend the whole day being productive. Now that it is cloudy again I woke up cranky, cold and wondering what time I will take a nap. I just felt lighter with the sun out. Now I feel heavy again. I hope our awful winter and last years awful summer is rewarded with a hot, sunny summer!
