Cherie’s Place – Thought for the Week

Sunshine is delicious, rain is refreshing, wind braces us up, snow is exhilarating;
there is no such thing as bad weather, only different kinds of good weather.

John Ruskin

    “Whether the weather be fine,
    Or whether the weather be not,
    Whether the weather be cold,
    Or whether the weather be hot,
    We’ll weather the weather
    Whatever the weather,
    Whether we like it or not!”

      I do like to look at snow as long as I don’t have to trog through it to get anywhere and I have ample food supplies in stock at home.

    A great quote, Cherry, as is also the image. They say in Norway that there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes. :) A variation on the theme, I guess.

    A lovely shot Cherie and as for the quote, well we should be used to all kinds of weather by now, LOL

    Rain and snow are truly wonderful but we don’t get enough snow, sadly.

    Lovely photo but not entirely convinced by the quote! Today’s weather is grey, damp and cold – not nice at any time but def not in August.

    You always come up with interesting quotes, ones I have never heard of before. I will have to try to remember this quote next cold blustery and rainy day we have.
