ode to snow

i stole my images from the world wide web....

so what?

here's the thing, i live in a "snow state"...

MOST people love that fluffy white stuff that falls out

of the sky from Oct. to long into May some years,

but GUESS what?

NOT ME!

i am officially a "snow odiator*" (a word i completely

made up by the way)

*diriative from the word "odious" meaning:

1.deserving or causing hatred; hateful; detestable.
2.offensive; repugnant; disgusting.

see, for me, there is nothing good about snow.

it is...

cold

wet

makes the roads slippery to drive upon

you have to shovel it

if you ask Josh what is "bad" about snow, he

will say EVERYTHING.

(i take full responsibility for influening him for the worst in this matter)

did i mention COLD?

AND WET?

i know, i know, i am now at the mercy of being on the

receiving end of some flying white stuff in the form of snowballs,

cast at me by those who love to ski, snowboard, and otherwise

frolic in the white frozen water....

go ahead, cast your first snowball.

see if i care.

i stand by my ODIATING of snow.

give me warm lazy spring days, full of sunshine and flowers.

OR give me a hazy autumn day, filled with gently falling leaves.

i will take EITHER over snow.

i think i need to move somewhere warm-ER.

san diego?

oh sure, it (meaning SNOW) is great on Christmas Day, it really sets the mood

for St. Nick and all that jazz, but anytime before OR after, ODIATOR I AM!

so you can stand with me or against me, it matters not...

i just had to share my ODE TO SNOW.
