Hazy, gray, dingy and ugly.

Oh, the weather outside is frightful...

Do you picture giant snowflakes swirling around, snow piling up on windowsills? Icicles hanging from the rooftop?

Well, our little town looks nothing like that. We had snow before Thanksgiving but because of the rain most of it has disappeared. Of course. Now, we have this hazy, gray, mist falling all around, the grounds are dingy and rather ugly. I can't forget to mention the wall of fog coating everything for miles. I am starting to think the sun is hibernating. It really is frightful weather outside.

I can handle the weather, I can. I don't mind curling up on the couch to crochet or write; we all know I could do that all day. Here's my dilemma: I can't listen to Christmas music. I started too. And tried to several times. But there is no snow to really complete the scene. The first initial burst of cheer has faded. I'm stuck.

I usually wouldn't wish for snow as I'm not big into winter sports. But, there are a few items on my list that involve snow that I desperately want to cross off. And I refuse to be a scrooge.

Is there a snow dance I could do? Or maybe I'll order a semi-truck full of snow to be dumped in the front yard…HELP!

Keep Loving.
