We Both Like Weather


"That's why Camilla and I got married, "said Denniston as they drove off. "We both like Weather. Not this or that kind of weather, but just Weather. It's a useful taste if one lives in England."
 
"How ever did you learn to do that, Mr. Denniston?" said Jane. "I don't think I should ever learn to like rain and snow." 
"It's the other way round," said Denniston. "Everyone begins as a child by liking Weather. You learn the art of disliking it as you grow up. Noticed it on a snowy day? The grown-ups are all going about with long faces, but look at the children - and the dogs? They know what snow's made for."
- C.S. Lewis' That Hideous Strength

I love the Lewis trilogy reference. I heartily concur, weather is wonderful! I am glad to know what snow is made for. ;)

So glad you are back to blogging again, friend.
