These last few days have been something of a struggle. Put plainly, I have felt like crap, still do, in fact. My energy is close to nil. My throat is so sore from coughing I can barely talk. AND I’ve been feeling guilty and sad that I’ve been missing this fantastic weather.
Because it has been, well, fantastic.

Happy Thanksgiving!
