Why I would be writing about snow in late March, when I've already written about the 'green haze' of Spring, might befuddle the most faithful reader of mine, but I do have a point because some of my readers are experiencing some spring snow right now and might be all crabby about it. I know I would be.
So here is a 'top 10 list' of why snow (in March) is positive…with all respects to David Letterman.
10. It's snowed in May before…like a couple of years ago. Better now than then...
9. Snow makes great homemade ice cream.
8. Snow hides the ugly gray grass.
7. "Snow" is one of the best songs in the movie "White Christmas"
6. The Snow scene in The Nutcracker ballet. (my favorite, by the way…)
5. Sledding, snowman, and a good snowball fight
4. Snow puts moisture in the ground and we'll need it for the flowers and green haze
3. Snow days! (well…only if you're a teacher or a student)
2. One more run of the snowblower before you put it away for Spring…
1. Think of the Jeopardy sketch in SNL 40th - 'Let It Snow' (if you've seen it - you're laughing now)
I hope I've cheered you up a little. Sometimes when the outlook is dismal, we need to find our sense of humor about our circumstances. We all need to laugh sometimes.
Today I wish you laughter amongst the bleakest of circumstances.
