I look out my window and see an unforgiving fall day in my little corner of the NW. I know. I know! I can hear you now...
"What, Laura? Unforgiving? I thought you just blogged about how you love fall?"
Ahem. Yes. I DID say I love fall...which is true. The exception for today, however, is that it is stormy and raining pretty heavily and I (like a crazy woman) accepted an afternoon position supervising the elementary school playground. Picture me, out in the cold/wet elements for an hour and a half today and you begin to understand the 'unforgiving' portion of my statement.
A person can do anything for an hour and a half, right? Especially when I have promised to reward myself with a caramel apple cider from Squeeze & Grind - the BEST I have found in all of Clark County. It's right here in my little town of Camas, so I will soothe my chills with a super yummy and steamy beverage and think cozy thoughts of wrapping up in a down throw later tonight; perhaps snuggling up with a good book or movie.
Off I go. Wish me luck...and warmth :)
Post Script: I was SO well prepared for this afternoon that it actually turned out to be quite nice. I layered up more than sufficiently, brought a giant umbrella, and even got to pass some of the time hanging out with my daughter and her friends. It was not an unforgiving fall day afterall!
But did you still reward yourself with a caramel apple cider? :) I hope so. I'm with you on the cold- standing in rain and cold is never fun...seems to be doing that a lot here too lately.
