Sit down at computer. Pull up Google Reader. "A new blog post, I'll go read that and leave a comment to tell Rachel how much I'm enjoying her blog since I re-discovered it." Read title of blog post. "grrrr!" Read text. Check current weather info: 15 F, Light Snow, (feels like 0 F) "grrrr!" Check highs for the weekend: Sat. 12, Sun. 21. Remember to be thankful for the beauty of landscapes draped in white, Smartwool socks, and the slate colored junco I spotted today. (even if I do feel a bit envious of the tangelo tree)
Laura, thank you for your smile-inducing account of how this post was received. :) It's nice to hear from you! Mary Rose, I wouldn't know about the hearty soups since I've never been in snowy weather, but I bet you're right. The closest I came was when I tried to hike in some month-old snow in Yosemite. Everyone else in the party did fine, but I was slippin' and slidin' and had to hold a friend's hand to make it. I never learned how to handle actual weather. :)
This just isn't fair. I'm staring out the window at 5 inches of snow.
ReplyDeleteWell. We did have a lovely Autumn. And good hearty soups just aren't the same in 74 degree weather. (A measly way to console myself, but there it is.)
:-)

ReplyDeleteIn Ohio, we can get all four seasons in one day.
ReplyDeleteThat's a test of patience, for sure.
Father, I don't think L.A. has that many seasons in the course of the whole year. :)
