Forecast: JOY

Jan. 25 UPDATE:  I'm linking this particular post to "Good Life Wednesday" over at A Beach Cottage.  Sarah, thanks for a chance to share "the good life!"

Temperatures, cold!
Snow likely.  Flurries likely.  Isolated and scattered snow likely.
Sun?  Not likely.
That's our weekend forecast.

Sounds like a good weekend for soup,

and snuggling on the couch with lots of blankets,

and movies.

Gray with six more days of gray is what they are forecasting (if you look at the weather forecast picture-charts).  You get the general idea.  If sun is anywhere in the picture, it is behind clouds.

Sometimes when the "big picture" doesn't seem especially JOYful, you have to look deeper to find little pieces of JOY.

I was at the grocery store yesterday, and saw these:

and I was supposed to resist them, HOW?

They screamed JOY to me.

I think it was their vibrant color.

It could've been the "$2 off" coupon...

Either way, they are on my kitchen counter,

and I'm pretty happy about that!

UPDATE:  Here comes the sun!  Don't ever complain about the weatherman being wrong!

Lisa is so sweet.
She just linked me up over on her blog!  Check it out!
