LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW, LET IT SNOW

In the Yarn Envy newsletter for December,  I wrote,

"On the 14th of December it started snowing and it snowed

and it snowed and it snowed. The snow covered the brown grass

and the barren tree limbs and made the world outside my window

all clean and white. On the 20th of December, it started to rain

and it rained and it rained and it rained. The rain washed the snow away

and the brown grass showed and the bare tree limbs showed

and it was dreary and sad. (I wanted to say, "Bah, humbug"

but me friend said I couldn't so I won't)"!

Now it is January 2 and the white stuff is back.

It is pretty deep this time - over 10 inches. 

Above is my car, covered and cleaned off and covered again.

See the big pile to the left of the car?

Emptied of flowers and herbs, the pots sit shivering in the snow.

In front of the red brick building and beyond the tree is Main Street. 

You can hardly see the blacktop. I do not think the city has plowed.

Some people have "rain catchers" that measure the rainfall.

My newel post is my measurer of snow. Some of it has been

blown away but that cone-shaped pile is 8 inches high.

I have books to read, word puzzles to solve, dvd's to watch

(Seasons 2 & 3 of Downton Abbey, old Boston Legal episodes

and the final episode of Prime Suspect and...........

could do a 3 day marathon of Tom Hanks movies), 

jigsaws to do, 3 boxes of wine and a freezer full of food.

So........let it snow, let it snow, let it snow.

3 boxes of wine and a freezer full of food.
