It Feels like "Winter" Here

It's been raining here. And not just Abu Dhabi rain (small sets of droplets), but real rain.

It is overcast today. I would even call the weather cool.

I have been watching Christmas movies, wearing flannel, making hot chocolate and mac n' cheese.

These days feel like fall days at home.

Days to snuggle up with a blanket and watch movies.

Days you keep the lights lower just because that feels warmer. 

Days that turn to nights where you look at the stars, and look at the past.

Mornings where the sun flames in all of its glory, casting light over low-lying clouds.

Days where work just doesn't want to be done, because everything is so comfortable, and so warm.

Fall days that you know will eventually turn to winter days, with woodsmoke and snow.

Home soon. Snow soon. But for now, Abu Dhabi is obliging with some rare weather.
