Clouds...sonnets...

Some consider it droll to talk about the weather. But come on, people, really. It rains, it snows, it's sunny, it's foggy, it's cloudy, it's partially cloudy, it's icy, it's cold, it's hot, it's humid, it hails, it sleet's... there *so* much variation. :) That said, the weather in the past week has been amazing. It's ranged everywhere from pouring rain to frigid blue skies. ^^ That was pretty much sumarized when I drove up to Santa Maria on Wednesday. Between 10 AM and 3 PM, as I drove, it changed from sunny to rainy and back to sunny again at least three times.
Today I drove near sunset, too, and the clouds looked absolutely fantabulous. I took pictures...hopefully I'll find them soon and get them up here.

Speaking of weather, here's Shakespeare's Sonnet 18 (my favourite sonnet):

Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date:
Sometime too hot the eye of heaven shines,
And often is his gold complexion dimm'd;
And every fair from fair sometime declines,
By chance or nature's changing course untrimm'd;
But thy eternal summer shall not fade
Nor lose possession of that fair thou owest;
Nor shall Death brag thou wander'st in his shade,
When in eternal lines to time thou growest:
So long as men can breathe or eyes can see,
So long lives this and this gives life to thee.
