I spent part of the morning singing "whatsamatter blue bird?" a song I was making up as I sang it so I can't repeat it now. :)

The sky is full of clouds but there are large gaps between them and the sunshine pours through. You can see shadows of clouds on the blue ridge mountains and overall it's a beautiful scene except it's a bit hazy. It's perhaps the best combination for the sky. If it's all clouds then it's dark and depressing. If it's all blue with no clouds at all then it's boring and doesn't make for good photographs. Then of course there's that old country song that goes "where the sun always shines, there's a desert below." ultimately clouds, at least here in Virginia, are travelers. They pass by. Sometimes they move slowly and sometimes quickly.

On a more personal note, I may be pining a bit for a month or two ago. Has familiarity bred contempt? Well, no. Not contempt. Things are different now but that's not a bad thing. Things have to change. It's part of the growing process. Things are a little weird right now. I know how I hope they turn out. Ultimately, however, it's all in God's hands so there's not much point in worrying about it.
