silver and gray.....

ahhhhhh........
wow......
what a beautiful morning!

just got in from a walk.

when i walked out my door to start,
i got all thrilled...
there was that touch of silver in
the sky.

i think that's one of my all time
favorite things.......that silver feel.

i can never describe it to anyone.
sometimes when i'm out with someone and
it's silver out, i'll grab them and say
"THIS! THIS RIGHT HERE! DON'T YOU LOVE IT?!"

you mean this gray??? they usually say.
grin.
nooooooo the SILVER!!!

as i walked the silver turned to gray.
it does that. you gotta catch it just right.

gray started colorin' the sky.

and i loved it.

i thought of my parents...
what a journey it is with one's family.
there's good and there's not so good.

but today....it was good.

i thought of them and thanked them.
one of the best things they both ever
taught me was to like gray days and the
rain.

both of them loved gray days.
they came from northern pennsylvania....and
i guess they had a lotta gray.
they even chose to marry in november when
it was really really gray!!

when it rained, my parents would go out
walkin'.

how cool is that?!

i can't remember my parents doin' too many
cool things.....but walkin' in any weather
was one of them.

and teachin' their daughter the beauty of
gray was another.

as i walked i could see their faces in the
rain....dad would get that twinkle that i loved
and mom would be so happy cause dad was twinklin'.

no rain here yet....
just a few tears rememberin' some really good
stuff.
