In Others’ Words: Weather

“Don’t knock the weather; nine-tenths of the people couldn’t start a conversation if it didn’t change once in a while.”~Kin Hubbard (1868-1930), American cartoonist

We have a saying here in Colorado: If you don’t like the weather, wait five minutes. It will change. (Note: This statement is always said with a certain amount of pride.)

Weather … when all else fails in a conversation, you can always fall back on, “Nice weather we’re having, eh?” Or “It’s sooooo hot. ” Or “It’s sooooo cold.” Whatever works.

And people pick their favorite types of weather. Several of my kiddos like rainy days. My son loves lightning storms. Me? I like windy days — and we get those a lot here in Colorado. Maybe I’ll post a picture of our newly-sided house once the job is complete. We have 90 MPH winds to thank for our new siding.

 

In Your Words: So … weather. How do you like it?
