Snow, Anyone?

December 7, 2007 at 6:59 AM

Hey does anyone want any snow? 'Cause I'm making some, and I'm feeling generous. You can email me with your address (no, I'm afraid I can't send it by cloud), and you might even get it in time for Christmas.

But don't expect enough to snowboard or anything.

Clouds only--it's the drought!.
Hmm, I don't think I can send you clouds.
We don't have snow here so I sure would love some! Please send it by conventional mail. Or maybe an iceberg can make the trip?
If you can trust me enough to email your address, I most certainly will send you some!
Nevermind, I see you have already posted your address on your bio.
Well, I could use a snow day. And it apparently only snows here about every five years. My daughters had to make snowmen with white trashbags filled with leaves. My students were excited the one day we had frost on the ground. Can you send some cold, too? There is an armadillo tearing up our back yard, and we need a week of below freezing to take it out.
We've actually got enough, thanks. You can keep yours.
We just got more than we needed. But, thanks for the offer, Emily. Your generosity is surely legendary. Have a good weekend.
Actually I'm quite stingy, but for some reason I don't blog about that much.
You can count on us to keep your secret. Have a good weekend.
Emily,

Seeing as how I live less than 2 miles away from you, I think it's only fair that you share your snow with me.

I don't have enough to say I have any...

Do I get to see you Sunday, Mellisa?
You've got snow? I'm jealous...it's just rain, rain, rain here in Homer...

Not exactly. I'm making my snow by hand, so it's probably going to take me a while to get even six inches.
You're "making" snow? Is it culinary?
Not exactly culinary. You know... for trees.
