I am all powerful

Okay. That's a joke.

But I hadn't seen a forecast for a few days when I wrote that post on Wed lamenting the rain and saying I'd rather have snow...

By about 1:00 am that next morning, I was hearing sleet on the windows... and woke up Thurday morning to a light dusting of the white stuff.

And today, it's cold. Like middle of January cold.

I haven't even cleaned up my yard for winter yet!!! Now, I'm praying for a thaw so I can rake leaves, and so the eavestrough guys can do their thing. They're supposed to come the first week of Dec.

Since my asking for snow worked so well on the blog on Wed. I am now asking for a thaw. A big one. That lasts a few weeks. It can snow again right before Christmas. Okay? Order in.

Forget the thaw. Ask for a publishing contract! :)

I'm with l.a. ask big- publishing contracts, winning the lotto. Save the thaw wishes for someone else

Well, given your incredible all-powerfulness, you probably get more than one wish. Like maybe five? So, you can have the thaw, the big publishing contract and three more wishes. :)

Non-stop sunshine and blue skies please.... until I say to stop!!!!!

And of course a publishing contract for you.

Ah, you guys are so smart. I should be putting my powers to better use and not wasting them on the weather. That's why I haven't sold, yet. ;-)

Here's hoping Barrie's right and I get more wishes.

Maureen,
We got snow here too before I raked the leaves... Ah, winter always comes too soon. Here's hoping your "all powerfulness" will result in both better weather AND that publishing contract :).

Ok, I just have to say, I love Canadianisms. "Eavestrough"? That's awesome. Where I come from, they're called "gutters". Yours is prettier.

:-) Louisa

Here gutters are only found at the side of a street. (And somewhere people need to get their minds out of occasionally.) I only discovered that little difference in Canadian and American English when I moved to the US.
