This morning was freezing! I looked outside the window in the entryway and there was frost on the grass, so I was sure to wear my jacket to school today. My brown boots hardly have any traction at all and none on ice so I lost my step every now and then on our walk this morning. I was talking with Ellie about how clear and blue the sky was today without a single cloud in sight, and how impressed and excited I was. She told me that this morning we had a red sky, that really shocked me, and I argued with her about why she didn't pull me out to see it. Apparently there is an old saying about the red sky; "A red sky in the morning is a shepherd's fright, but red sky in the evening is a shepherd's delight." What it means, I have no idea, Ellie doesn't even know. And once again I watched the sunrise, but today was different, the water was shimmering brightly, to the point where I couldn't look for more than a few seconds without squinting and quickly turning away. The brightness of the water actually irritated me when I was trying to take my math test that I finally drew the shades. The grey clouds quickly rolled in again, but there is just a slight breeze today, which I am etremely pleased with. I'm thinking about going to Dun Laogherie tomorrow, we'll see.
