What I Woke Up to Saturday Morning
Last Friday at work, my co-worker said the naughty ‘S’ word. It seems our local television meteorologist forecasted a misting of that fluffy white stuff.
That’s right. Snow.
I’m not ready for winter yet. I miss summer very much. Hell, I miss fall very much. I didn’t get to take as many fall foliage photos as I wanted because I was so busy with all my commitments at work and at home.
Anyway, I had this clever idea to use “Reverse Snowology.” Don’t steal that phrase my friends, I’m trade-marking it.
Reverse Snowology is when you say aloud, “Oh, gee! I’d really love it if it would SNOW!” The idea is that saying those words will trick Mother Nature and then it will not snow.
It seems that whenever I say I DO NOT want snow, it always manages to cover my front lawn. I thought my Reverse Snowolgy thing was clever, and that it would, you know, WORK.
But alas, it snowed. Thankfully it melted less than an hour later.

Gosh. Here we’re still wearing short sleeves and PRAYING for some rain (it doesn’t rain here all summer, not even once)…

Rachel, I wish I could wear short sleeves! Although I know how important rain is. I’ll dance a rain jig and say a prayer for buckets of rainy goodness your way.
Mrs. W, I admit the first snow is rather exciting, but it’s the prospect of a long, cold winter that makes me wish it would all melt!

I hate to say this but we spent the weekend in the mountains with the express purpose of seeing snow. There, I said it. But I won’t be saying it in March when I’m sick of it.

I still have to rake leaves. Mother Nature can’t dump the white stuff on me yet.

I’m so glad I live in an area where it only snows a few times every winter (if that). Yay for northern Virginia!

Oh the snow! I don’t get that here in southern Ca.
I sure do miss it, though.
