Just a Few More Days -- a Lament

I met some one for lunch today, but I must confess. I was quite ill prepared in dress. I walked because it was just a few blocks, but the whole time the wind whipped about my raven locks. My hands were cold as I hurried on. I thought two layers would be quite enough. Alas, I think that summer has gone and I lament that there aren't likely to be even just a few more days of hot summer days to sit in the sun at lunch and read a book or take a walk.

Tell me how I can trade these



for these?



How can I trade this



for this?




Because I know the ONE who paints
skies even in suburbia that look
like this:






He is bedding down His creation in preparation
for next summer.

Don't remind me of the impending winter! Ughhhhhhh......every year I wonder aloud why I stay in the "balmy" state of Wisconsin. I hate being cold and while the fluffy white snow is pretty, it gets a bit old when we get 12-14 inches at a time!!!! I was born in the dairy state and I'll probably die here as well (unless I become a missionary in Guatemala :)
Hope you are doing well, Amy!
God Bless -
