Moody weather...

Salut,

Sitting in a restaurant of the dix30 after an afternoon of shopping with the girls. I'm typing this on my phone while the kids are reading new books I just bought for them, while we wait for our food.
We had a very nice day. Sunny and warm. Changed the tires on both cars, removed the Halloween decorations with the kids and they even had fun raking off some leaves and cleaning up the flower beds...

And you? How did you enjoy this great weather of the first Saturday of November? Don't be shy, let us know, I know you're dying to tell us... :-)

It's kind of amazing how the weather influences our mood. How come we (at least most of us) feel so much better under bright sunshine as opposed to gloomy cold grey raining clouds? Some will say it is obvious, but I challenge them to come up with an explanation that has more meat around the bone than over-simplistic statements like:
"because we feel better under good weather" or "it is just more comfortable"...

Aren't we comfy under a nice hot shower? Ok, we're naked and the water temperature is under our control, but still...

Is it just a question of comfort, or is there something else in rain and sunshine that affects our mood? What do you think?

BYE
MAD
P.S.: I took a few interesting shots of the day after Halloween...

Oh geez those photos are brilliant! LOL! Reminds me of the good ol'days... sigh. I miss candy :-)

As for the weather thing, it's simple: our brains are geared for absorbing and processing Vitamin D, which releases endorphins to keep us all happy go lucky.

No sun, no VitD, no happy drugs.

S'true! :-D
