Second-Hand
Am I going shopping for candy or second-hand clothing this morning? I think not. Do I have to tell you what the weather is like outside today? Just see for yourself. Spring begins,with the vernal equinox, in less then 24 hours in these parts at 7:02 AM (EDT) tomorrow March 20, 2013. We could get between 10-15 more inches today. My wishing that we'd get some snow for Christmas Eve is a very long ways away this morning. There's a candy shoppe to the left of this duplex. I don't really have what you might call a sweet tooth. Although, if it's around, I might sample something chocolate with coconut mixed about. On the right here, is a used clothes shop. I do so much enjoy taking a stroll through second-hand stores, but to tell you the truth, I don't think I'll be doing much moving from the kitchen woodstove today. This latest 'dropping' has got me a bit in the dumps. The only real saving grace is that I know this wicked stuff will melt away quickly. But really, spring snow? Oh by the way, if things fall into place weatherwise at the end of the week, guess what might be in my future?
As a matter of fact... don't ask, or I might be Fallin' for Juicy too!
Aaaaand here comes da snow up here now . . . We are pretending it is January.
ReplyDeleteSeems so incredible to be in the middle of March and still be having extreme weather..in both hemispheres!! It's too much!! Intrigued to know what you may or may not be (depending on the weather) doing at the end of the week!!
ReplyDeleteI hear ya Bird. The one LONG winter I spent in Neenah WI, we got snow the day after Easter and after four months of it, that spring snow just about did us all in. Keep warm!

Stay inside with a hot toddy :-)
ReplyDeletegood luck with the last blast!
ReplyDeleteIt is so hard for me to picture you with more snow coming down when we desert rats have been experiencing unusually hot weather. In fact, everyone here is hoping for a winter storm to cool things off some before our notoriously hot summer arrives. I so wish you could send a little of that arctic blast this way.
ReplyDeleteWe've had just a sprinkling but I hear your pain! Snow be gone.
ReplyDeleteI dunno, but one would think you'd be used to all that snow by now! But perhaps you'd better the ye olde snow blower out for one last time.
ReplyDeleteFortify yourself with a good book and some Kentucky Bourbon :)
ReplyDeleteThat's some wind you had there.
ReplyDeleteI remember about three weeks ago when everyone was getting excited and proclaiming it to be spring. I lived up north for enough years that I learned not to declare it to be spring until May. Even April can have surprise snow storms. I even remember one year in the 1980s getting a foot of snow in Connecticut in the first week of May.
ReplyDeletewhat? a second hand shop in portland i don't know about!!! where is this one?
ReplyDeleteI don't recognize those shops...In any case, yes, this last snow created a bit of a disconnect for me...I sort of ignore it, while breathing in the fresh air...March 20, only the equinox, not the first day of spring, bah!
