Windows..

No, not the Microsoft kind..just thinking about the way I seem to live so much of my day looking through windows, when the weather is inclement...
It seems as if it has been raining here for a month straight...this, after a record lack of rain for the Summer and early Autumn...today is beautiful, finally clear and cold.

Here are two images from my windows..what  are you seeing through yours?
Poor Richard's Almanac (yes, after all this time, still more accurate in projecting general patterns than all the modern meteorological forecasts!) says that this will be a mild winter for us, with snow not starting 'til mid-December...usually bang-on, so I'm hoping  that carries on in 2012..it's rather difficult to travel in snow to craft markets that no one goes to because it's snowing...but I shouldn't  worry needlessly...
Hope you all have a mild Winter, snow if you want it, and my thoughts are especially with those on the Eastern Seaboard who will have a very hard Winter this year...

*Cough* *Sniff* It's a Winter Wonderland...sorta...

Here I sit, with the most miserable cold/whatever I think I've had in five years..if you look at the pictures, you can see what has happened literally overnight..pretty, yes?
Problem is, my craft fair #2 is today, and I can neither drive in this foot-deep, uncleared stuff than I can load and unload my truck and mingle with people in a hot and airless hall while sniffling and couging my little heart out..in other words, craft fair #2, like craft fair #1, isn't much to write home (or blog) about this year...
I might have attempted it if I wasn't so sick, but no point in spreading these foul germs as well as forced holiday cheer..not that I can see a whole bunch of people risking their lives, driving on our often treacherous highway, to come here and shop...
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times..
Guess I'll just sit, snuggled under a big quilt, and watch the seagulls wheeling and diving through the snowy air....could be worse.....
