The Difference a Day Makes

Yesterday I was slogging through mud and driving under cloudy skies. I was tempted to open the house windows for fresh air. I did my chores without a jacket.

Today I battled wind and sleet to get my chores done. I can barely see my neighbor's home across the field of blowing snow. My hat and mittens were stiff with ice when I took them off. My house windows were frozen shut.
