Too much of a good thing.............

Today was another beautiful, sunny day in the Southwest, and I am sick to death of it! Honestly, this is January and I am just having a hard time adjusting to the spring like weather. Last count it has been five months without any decent precipitation. I have to confess that I have been watching the news around the country with envy. The alarmed broadcaster speaks every few days of another blizzard. Pictures of icy roads, snowed in cars and buildings do not bring the sympathy and concern that are warranted. Instead, my children and I are glued to the screen practically salivating at a foreign land of white powdery snow. We know nothing of the shoveling, bundling, skidding, freezing, or power outages. All we see is snow, wonderful snow! Our weatherman is treated with contempt and scorn when he happily announces that we are in for "another beautiful sunny day!" There follows witty banter about how lucky we are to live in a place with so much sun! Humph! I'm thinking I might gather the children round the fireplace tonight and perform a snow dance. Google probably has some great ideas!
