It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

So, yesterday I bid 'adieu' to winter with a springy sun-dress and cardi in the quite fabulous colors of spring, kelly green and coral. I had decided to "bring the spring," although truly I had not had enough winter yet.
I scarcely had even opened my trunk of winter clothes, and that is not acceptable. A few particularly cute sweaters, skirts, and wool trousers have been sadly cowering away since last winter, with little or no hope for a promenade this year. Only thrice have I had occasion to don a sweater of heftier weave than a merino wool blend.
Ahhh, yes, but this is Texas! And March 3rd brings, no, not spring, as one would have predicted, but a blizzard. (A blizzard by a Texan's account, of course. But, nonetheless, it is snowing like crazy right this very minute. It will not stick, no, surely not. But, the grass and roofs are fluffy with snow.)
So, you global warming enthusiasts, what do you have to say for yourselves now? Oh, and by the way, although I doubt I will say "I told you so" at its manifestation (I will be too busy being sad or high-tailing it to Switzerland or Costa Rica), I am afraid that with any of the current presidential hopefuls (and especially the dems) we shall certainly end up in a socialist country, or blown up by terrorists, or both. Umm... I didn't sign up for that, man.
The end.
