Catching Rays

It was a beautifully sunny warm day today, and whenever it is I feel great.  My attitude is better, I get along better with the kids...and Paul, have more energy.  I found Paul upstairs this afternoon reading on the bed in the sun, he looked just like a cat soaking it up!  Then I found him a few minutes later still in our room standing in front of the window soaking up the very last bit of sun that was streaming in.  I crave the sun and when it is out I want to soak it in, perhaps I am vitamin D deficient?  The girls got to play outside for more than a half hour at the playground after school, I am now wondering why all that sun hasn't changed Gracie's mood to a more sunnier disposition?  All this sun and warmth has me thinking about when winter will arrive.  The last two years, winter has arrived Oct31 and Nov 15, (by winter I mean cold and snow).  When will we get winter?  I am not complaining though, this has been a great fall but it is weird to look across the street, see Christmas decorations and lights but no snow.  Hmmm, reminds me of Vancouver!  We are getting our Christmas tree on the 28th and we are hoping that there will be no snow!  Those are my musings for tonight.
