Glitter Chickens, Snow and Fez
Glitter Chicken called me tonight while I was hemming a dress for the derby prom (yes, there is such a thing) to talk about the snow. "I had to call another Midwestern. . . did you see the snow!? Don't you just love it? It's it funny how when there are like 4 flakes in the sky they'll call off work or an activity? 'Oh, it's too dangerous out there. You better stay home.' I love it. I love how they value personal safety. I love just four flakes of snow."
It's true, there is a great deal of anxiety around snow and I've mentioned it in previous posts but I appreciated her perspective about safety because it would be like Florida having snow plows - you just don't need them often enough to invest in the infrastructure. But I had to chime in, "But Glitter Chicken, I heard on the radio the other day that they were going to keep all of the plows off the highways because they didn't want to jeopardize their drivers. I mean isn't that what a huge truck, filled with sand and salt is about - driving in the snow?" She laughed and we agreed to meet for breakfast if I didn't have to go to work.
So Fez and I have been watching the snowfall. It's that beautiful color outside - I call it "city orange" when the snow bounces up the orange of the street lights. It's not dark and dreary like it usually is. Fez sits on the ledge in the bedroom window and his head bobs up and down as the snow falls. He's very cute. He use to watch the snow in Cleveland - there was a heck of a lot more there.
