C is for Cloud


Be still, sad heart! and cease repining;
Behind the clouds is the sun still shining

  11. I'd actually LOVE to see some clouds! (A little rain would even be great!) I'm a little tired of all the sun we've been having! ;)

  12. I love clouds! I like to lay in the yard to see what I can find hidden in the clouds, like when I was a kid.

    Good 'C' word! =D

  15. Great quote! It reminds me of a fishin' trip we took our students on. It was a cold, cloudy spring day and I had a Down Syndrome boy in the paddle boat with me who said, "the sun is shinnin'." I'm like, Jesse there is no sun today in which he so wisely answered...." yes, yes Mrs. Nezzy the sun is shinnin'...it's just hiding behind the clouds!" Outta the mouths of babes! :o)

    God bless and my the sun brightly shine on your day sweetie!

  23. Why can't the clouds be over the sun ? Last time I took the plane I thought I was driving over snow !

  34. I do love to bask directly in the sunny warmth of some sunshine...but a little fluffy clouds passing by cools the temps a bit and offers a little shade... What a great quote!

    Blessings & Aloha!
