We have been blessed with four days of delightful blue skies and sunshine, and while we have a mix of sun and clouds this morning our forecast is for increasing cloudiness today followed by several days of rain mixed with snow.
Before you read any farther let me suggest that you look out the window. If the sun is shining, stop whatever you are doing (reading this) and go outside and soak up some sun. You can always come back here later. 🙂 I was out earlier with the boys before it started clouding up.
I thought maybe creating a “Sunshine Page” might help (at least figuratively) chase those clouds away. I am going to ask for your help though. I have started off by selecting and posting three “sunshine” songs. Click to listen and feel free to sing along.
Now here is your assignment should you choose to accept it. Send me some sunshine! Think of a sunshine song (there are many) and either send me the link in the comments section below or send me the name of the song (and artist if you know it) and I will try to find a link and add it to this page.
Wishing you all blue skies and sunshine and feel free to return to this page anytime you need to chase those clouds away.
This piece of sunshine was sent by Julie.
Please check out the other sunshine songs sent by readers in the comments section below. 🙂
What a great idea!! It was sunny and warmer today and so pretty! The rest of the week is supposed to be cold and rainy again. Blah. Here’s my sunshine:

Yes, and every time I hear a weather forecast they are either increasing or decreasing the amount of snowfall inches we are getting on Wednesday … last report had them shaving off an inch or two.

It’s still dark out and but looks like we got less than an inch so far. I have a feeling that we will be on the lower end.

I thought that too until about 6:00 p.m. when I looked out … I had shoveled and the neighbors on either side had not shoveled and all our sidewalks were clear to the cement. Next time I looked out, everything was white.

Hopefully we are done with this now. There is still time for the groundhog to be accurate.

Me too Ruth – we got 5 1/2 inches here and this morning it was crunchy and a little crusted over with ice and the snow had drifted. On the bright side, it is late February and not mid-January, so if we can just hang on a little longer … patience is a virtue.

What a great idea. We could use some sunshine and warmth here too. I love the K&W Walking On Sunshine track!
