snow...snow...snow...snow!

I know there are some of us who know this song from Bing Crosby and Danny Kaye's White Christmas.

Sing along with me...


"Snow snow snow snow


It won't be long before we'll all be there with snow

Snow snow snow snow

I want to wash my hands, my face and hair with snow

Snow snow snow snow

I long to clear a path and lift a spade of snow

Snow snow snow snow

Oh, to see a great big man entirely made of snow..."

But not on October 10.


Not when I am feeling all sore throaty and headachey and...what is the term...full of general malaise.

Not when I have to....HAVE to...work on Saturday and Sunday for the first time in FOREVER!

Upside?  Because, y'all know, I am all about the upside.

I got the tomatoes picked while the weather was nice, all following my instincts and intuitions. (See those droopy plants and forlorn tomatoes left on the vine...so sad...)

I feel no worse than I did Friday, and that is good.

Temps are suppose to get back up to the 70's (!) by Thursday.

I am the current hero at work, seriously appreciated, and part of a team that worked on a critical problem.

And I have one nifty camera with which to take wonderful photos from my patio door.



Now while this was not what I had planned for today's post, those others subjects will wait.  However, Dearest Sister is celebrating over at her place.  It's been a year since she joined the blogging party, and she is going to give some things away.  I think the prizes are most intriguing.  She always finds the coolest stuff.  Seriously.  And it can be on the same shelf we are both looking at, and it won't even register in my brain. We can be out shopping together, looking at the same place, and she will pick up stuff that I don't even see.

One time, at a thrift store, she picked up a Longaberger basket, of which I have an embarrassing number of, and I grabbed it out of her hand, like she found it and intended to give it to me to buy.  I appropriated it like I was all entitled by my ownership of more than she had.  I didn't even think to apologize and ask if she meant to buy it until a few minutes had passed.  She laughed it off.  I think she meant it.

Anyway.  I am glad she started blogging, and the only part of tag teaming blogtoberfest is that the days I post, I know I can't look forward to a post on her blog.  And if I didn't already have a few too many Irons in the fire (as it were!), I might let her enter me in her drawing and pick me up another craft

Part of me is jealous, but I know that eventually, you will have pretty much constant snow. I would not like that. So I guess I should be glad I live in the south....where it has been very warm and sticky the last few days :-(

gotta share word verification: anglo (but I'm hispanic!)

oops! messed up and got new word: precreme...that just sounds dirty. lol

Good ole Colorado! Surprise! I heard from our neighbor's up at the cabin that they had 8 inches and 8 degrees upon getting up yesterday morning!

I don't envy you that. Don't the trees still have leaves? We are supposed to have snow showers later this week and that is pretty much unheard of this early. Look out, winter is coming fast this year!

Sara, that is one of the untruths about where I live. It isn't constant snow. It's snow this weekend (which, of course, completely ends the growing season which is hard for me) and 70's degrees later in the week. It will be sort of like that all winter. Snow then 55 degrees in a few days with great sunshine. Really pretty sweet.

Oh I'm not ready for that yet. We haven't even had our first frost. But it does look pretty.

EEEEK! Look at that snow! I'm sure not ready for it. I hope you're feeling better.

Such a contrast, just a days drive away!

You know, I was glad that Longaberger basket was in that shop because I always feel kind of silly, jonesing to go to thrift stores, etc, if we don't find any treasure. Now when I drag you along, I can say "you never know - you might find a LB basket!"

Oh those poor little tomatoes left on the vine must be so envious of all their green friends ripening in the cozy, warm basement. Very good intuition on your part, I must say.

Congrats on being the hero at work -- it's nice to be appreciated and of course...you deserve it.

thanks for sharing pics! I am enjoying our semi warm weather, but I am a teeny bit jealous of the snow!!
Love you - k

Yikes. Is that snow coming my way?? I suppose it's time, though I'm not ready. I visited dearest sister and entered the giveaway! :))

You shouldn't put the Irons in the fire...unless it's some of the Irons that Perry doesn't like.
I'm so glad you put the snow pictures on your blog!
We are thinking of going to Estes Park around Thanksgiving-- I hope it snows then!
I don't know the "snow snow snow" song...don't think I ever watched White Christmas! I'll have to do that!

Snow!! Oh my goodness. I'd say I'm jealous, but apparently we're supposed to get hit later this week. So I suppose I'll just wait. =D

Oh snow how lovely it'd be today (its the hottest day so far this spring here).

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
