Happy Thanksgiving

So as you have probably heard me say a million times over the weather has been absolutely terrible this week, even going back to last week. Though we did get out for a walk under threatening  skies Wednesday night. I think if I had to choose a muse I would settle on clouds. Don't misunderstand me, Cadie is beautiful, and sweet, and I love her, but she isn't as ever-changing as a cloud.

These two pictures are of the same piece of sky at the same time, just with a different focus. It's just so funny to see how the sky changes depending on what you are focusing on. But this is a dog blog, so here is the dog ;)

She's looking scruffy, but she was having the time of her life. You might be able to see the desperation in her eyes, that's because she is annoyed with me for wasting valuable ball-throwing time by taking her picture. We did head into the off-leash trail and have a little walk, but it was getting dark so we only went around once. But those fifteen minutes were enough to change the world, and when we came out we were greeted by this sky.

I love this picture, it makes me think of the beautiful cinematography from Gone with the Wind. But more than just a reminder of beautifully stylized movie, this sky was a harbinger, do you remember the rhyme?

Red sky at night

Sailor's delight

yes, this sky indicated that better weather was ahead of us. And the next day the sun came out.

and the sky was so clear and blue all you could see was the trail of burning gas from air planes

And the leaves are really starting to put on a show. I'm now in the habit of taking my camera with me whenever I take Cadie out, so while I'm not a talented photographer, I'm just going to post my photos and let you enjoy some of the highlights that I was able to capture.

What a Difference a Day Makes

Cadie and I headed out for our walk last night under heavy, black rain clouds. Initially I was going to drive, but Cadie's energy was way too high, and driving me nuts, and as I was pulling onto my street it looked like the sun was coming out.

The sun was not coming out, but the walk was pretty dry. It rained on us a little again in the baseball bowl and then just as we were headed inside, so not too bad at all, and truthfully I really needed the walk, to clear my mind, and try to stop my head ache.

It most have worked because I got a great night's sleep last night, and when I woke up the sun was trying to peak through the clouds. This is the best sign of the week, even better though is that it is expected to be a beautiful day leading into a beautiful weekend.

C and I are going to another Jays game tonight. We're going to have the best seats of the season (usually we sit in the nose bleeds, but tonight we'll be down in the 100s). This is GREAT and I am very excited, the 100s have the best indulgence-type foods, so I think we're having pizza, though that might change after we've had the chance to walk around and see what else the Dome has to offer. But, even if we do decide on pizza, the pizza in the 100s is much, much better than the pizza in the nose bleeds, I have no idea why, it just is.

Anyhow, the sunshine has renewed my faith in life and revitalized my spirit. Happy Friday everyone
