Stormy Weather

Have you ever noticed how a cloudy day can affect everything. For me it usually makes me feel tired and makes every task (aka classes) seem like an impossible burden. Because of this, I have decided to write about all the positive things that rainy weather has to offer. So, here are the benefits that I am most enjoying:

- It smells wonderful! There really is nothing quite as grand as the smell of wet dirt and pavement, c’mon admit it.

- It makes me feel like wearing sweaters, which I quite enjoy doing by the way.

- It makes me feel like eating comfort foods. Some of my favorites are hot chocolate, ice cream, cheesecake and pumpkin pie. The best snack recently though…a pumpkin pie cheesecake shake at Sammy’s. SOOOOO GOOD!!!! (note it is made of the last three favorites…coincidence? I think not :D )

- I have heard, and maybe this is a rumor, that rain keeps the fall leaves on the trees longer…whether there is truth there or not, I am all for keeping fall colors around longer.

- and probably my most favorite reason for the weather is…it gets me in a Halloween mood. I LOVE Halloween!
