Burning Bush

i want snow SO BADLY! this is my favorite time of year. the house is decorated, hot chocolate ready to go, a fire in the fireplace -now send me some goddamned snow!

i feel totally silly now… complaining about how cold it was and how my hands were turning purple in the 42 degree LA/socal winter weather.

We just got a nice pile of snow over the weekend. Of course my drive to work was extended from 30 minutes to 50 minutes…

Currently in Edmonton the temp is: -11 °F / -24 °C enjoy your 70F weather people!

I think you ought to compose a long post compiling all of the “I’m first!” comments. The whole phenomenon has taken on a life of its own and would be a pretty funny read. Or not.

You have *definitely* been at your Mom’s for a while recently if you’re referencing things from the Bible in your heading for pictures now!!!

Snow definitely makes for some gorgeous pics (like that one!) … I can’t say I enjoy being around it though. It’s 25 degrees up here in Boston and I hear snow is on the way. I’m not really all that happy about it.

I can’t wait to get snow like that here in Berea,Oh. It’s all gray drabby days, but as soon as we get actually get the snow I’ll love it for 2.5 seconds and then wish it was 80 degress out….

Lisa: I concur.

Now, if only crack really grew on trees…

Cool figure ground reversal in the thumbnail. Sorry, about the art lingo.

I think the thumbnail is cool because it looks like a crack (absence of matter) but the photo is in fact of a tree branch (matter).

You know, we’re all so fortunate to be able to see the snow for ourselves, or even go to the snow. But there are some kids who will never see or play in the snow. Isn’t that sad? I don’t know how they do it…not seeing the joys of the snow and all. We should create a charitable trust to help them find that joy.

Beautiful. I have a picture of a dancing Moses in my Photobucket account and the title to your picture reminded me of him =)

I feel left out. We’ve not had one drop of snow yet.

I can count the number of times I’ve seen snow on my hands.

It’s a rather humid 70 degrees here. I’m so jealous.

Snow is just a distant memory as I sit here sweating in Kenya, East Africa…………Send a little cold my way!!!

Hey Dooce, just wondering, when does the party planning for Leta’s 1st birthday start? My son, Aidan, turned one on August 29th, and we started at least 4 months in advance. Pretty neurotic huh? Well it’s just that family came out of the wood work and all “had” to come. By the way, beautiful picture!

That’s pretty cool.

Burning Bush, huh?
Ok, Dooce, where’s George W?? Is he under that shrub-thing with the snow on it?

Re: Aaron’s point..

Don’t despair for the children that grow up without snow. I grew up in the midwest, so I’m no stranger to it – but I moved to south TX and married a native.

The first time I took him to see snow, he checked it out for awhile and then came in the house to exclaim ‘get me the fuck out of here! It’s COLD!’

The native southerners aren’t missing a damn thing, for sure. ;o)

Sensual pic!

That bush must be freezing!

Cold, white, heartless bush.

Hey…look closely. Is that an image of the Virgin Mary in the bush? It’s odd how I contemplate these things as I am munching down my grilled cheese.

Hmm, interesting picture. I thought the mini-image looked like a stuffed Tigger giving a kiss to another stuffed animal. Guess I need to get out more.

Yes, mns – I think Danielle suggested we also have a category
