Cloudy Days

The plan today is to get some photo and video content for Roe’s Garden around our house. Unfortunately, the sun hasn’t been out in my neighborhood in about a month and a half. I think it’s really starting to get to everybody around here. Our days lag. It’s harder to get motivated. I never thought that the weather could have such a big impact on me because we had all kinds of weather growing up. Seasons came and went and there were blizzards and thunderstorms and heatwaves and I never really thought about any of them. Once you acclimate to 75 and sunny on the daily though, an extended stretch of anything else starts to feel like the end of the world. We need the sun back!

On the other hand, we could just embrace the clouds. Explore the mysterious nature of our futures, and even more so, our present times. Let those feelings guide the expression for a while. This time last year I had a tan and some abs starting to show; this time around my beard is unkempt and I can’t shake these last ten pounds.

I wonder what I’m holding onto. We still have some writing to do for the year. I guess we’ll find out with the music.
