Thought of the Week

Everyone begins as a child by liking Weather. You learn the art of disliking it as you grow up. Haven’t you ever 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 the snow’s made for.

—C.S. Lewis
