a conversation with the weather

 Over at Kickin it old Skool we were asked

What's the weather like where you live today?

  

  Today is a good day to decorate the outside for the winter holidays.

  I always have dreams of draping live greens on the fences and

 around the doors and windows.

 Then the price of the garlands stops me dead in my tracks. 

In order for it to be worth it I have to buy miles of the stuff.

 Ok ... not miles....but 300-400 yards That's not going to happen.

 Not for something that will be thrown away.  

 I have heard some people drag their pine roping

 into the woods so it will break down and become a part of nature again.   

Nice thought

 ... BUT .... 

what about the wire that binds it together????  

I don't want to take the chance of an animal getting tangled up in rusty wire.

If it were made with hemp or twine I might consider doing that.

  But then I imagine it would cost more. 

Why don't I make it myself? 

  Well.  Time. 

 I would rather be doing something else. 

This is why I use faux greenery outside.

So today is a good day to decorate outside. 

And that means that first I get to wash my windows for the last time this year.

 I guess today's weather says:

"It's a good day to wash the windows Marianne"

After that you may hang your faux greenery."

 (  yes the weather  spoke  to me with a  light blue-grey whisper.  )

( sometimes it shouts in dark indigo with firey orange flashes )

anyway... 

So that's where I will be and what I will be doing.

Hope it's sunny and bright where you are.

See you tomorrow.
