Sunflowers 50

 Sunny and warming. Most of the snow has melted. I am really hoping for a MILD winter. 

I'm trying to hold on to last summer.

 I guess the weather people got it right, since it did cloud up and turn colder and start snowing yesterday. Quite cold this morning and an inch or two of snow on the ground, but not a cloud to be seen. I hope it quickly gets above freezing. 

It could have been worse, since this kind of weather could have started in November. This snow comes after a quarter inch of rain, so more precipitation is good. It should melt quickly.

 We got more rain than I expected yesterday and it really didn't get very cold. Today it's all blue sky. I suspect that the weather forecast will be inaccurate again. That's not at all unusual. It was a rather quiet New Year's Eve around here. Nothing wrong with that! 2022! Big deal.

Unfortunately, it will be windy today. When is it NOT windy around here?

 Maybe it will rain today. If it does it probably won't be much. Even a bit of moisture will be a pleasant change. And it is not at all cold. Maybe tomorrow it will be cold with a light sprinkle of snow. But that will be a one day affair.

Not that I really want much of a winter. I had enough winter last year to last the rest of my life. I'd rather not go through that again.

Rain chances at last, and on New Year's Eve and New Year's. Good timing. I've always felt that those were stupid things to celebrate. Maybe the rain and cold weather will "dampen" the nonsense. Too much nonsense and too much stupid running free this time of year. There are only two holidays that make any sense at all to me, and they are Labor Day and Memorial Day. And Halloween is kind of fun, but not a holiday.  Meanwhile...

 In fact, Halloween/Day of the Dead makes quite a LOT of sense.
