Am I being
a tiny bit ungrateful
if I say
I wish I lived on the East Coast this week?
They are supposed to have a blizzard.
We are having weather in the seventies all week
and I'm a little jealous of my East Coast friends.
We haven't had one snow day this year.
Not one.
All this dry is making me worry
about this summer.
It will be long and dry.
And I worry about climate change.
But, selfishly I am also just longing for a snow day.
I love those days,
once in a great while,
when you wake up
to a whirling winter wonderland.
And don't have to go anywhere.
I love making cookies.
Reading.
Even cleaning.
And shoveling.
I love shoveling.
Tonight
on the eve
of a string of seventy degree days
I am longing for a snow day.
Such a strange winter. Our incessant rain continues in the NW. I wish we could send you some in exchange for some 70 degree days. Wish you could partake of the "whirling winter wonderland."
ReplyDeleteI just finished teaching piano. One of my students - who goes to school in Chicago instead of the suburbs - said he had a snow day today AND tomorrow! We only had about an inch out here today.....not enough to miss school.
ReplyDeleteYou're invited to enjoy our snowy Tuesday vicariously, Carol! I'm surprised to find that I'm looking forward to the storm, even if I wind up having to trek into work through it.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind changing locations with you, Carol.

Sometimes you just need a snow day for sanity. I'm sorry you won't be getting one, but I'm thrilled we are not in the midst of a blizzard in March. I'll take my blizzard in December or January please.
ReplyDeleteI just realized we wished for, and wrote about the same thing yesterday. So funny!!
ReplyDeleteI loved your slice, but I have to admit I've been enjoying the spring weather we've been having and don't think I would want a snow day. I'm happy to be warm again. But a break? I could definitely use a break!
ReplyDeleteI'm with you! I like winter to feel and look like winter. Amazingly, we've had 3 snow days this year--unheard of! (I don't ever recall a single snow day in the 9 yrs I've been teaching college.) And I've enjoyed every second of them!
