Peaceful

Today was a lot warmer than it has been in the past few days. So warm, in fact, I didn't even wear a jacket. It felt like early spring instead of the last month of the year. I expected rain from the gray, looming clouds, but the clouds rolled by without incident. To me it seems like the weather falls into a pattern this time of year. The when it gets into this pattern, I've noticed the day before there is snow the temperature rises and then drops suddenly the next day when it finally does snow to bitter-cold. I'm not a weather-lady so I don't know if anything I say about the weather has any science behind it but the weird fluctuation of temperature, to me, always signals snow.

Besides the gloom of the clouds overhead, it was peaceful day. Only the sounds of crows in the nearby woods broke the silence with distant, urgent caws to one another for reasons only the crows know.
