When I was a little girl growing up in sunny California I would wonder at the gingerbread houses glopped with white stuff that was supposed to represent snow. I thought, snow isn't like that, it should be "dusted" on the trees and the gingerbread house. As I look out my dining room window and see the snow "glopped" on my Blue Spruce I wonder how I have never noticed this in the 22 years I have lived in Illinois.
I don't actually think I've seen this much snow since we have been living here. It really is beautiful and now the "glopping" makes sense. But, do you see that incredible blue sky? It's very deceiving as it is dangerously cold outside. Without the windchill factor it is 20 below. Brrrrrrrr!
So what do you do on such cold days? You stay inside and watch the Travel channel and dream of warm beaches, you shop on-line, you read a good book, catch up on magazines and wish books and enjoy a nice big glass of red wine. And, if you have kids at home because school was called off and it's too cold to send them outside - well, have a bigger glass of wine and hang in there, Spring has to be just around the corner!
Back to where I am, we never have snow ..
