It’s sunny today and the temperature is climbing toward fifty-five, but it’s a north-wind day so it’s chilly–at least to cold-weather wimps like most of us here in Texas. MSB and I have a low fire glowing in the fireplace.
Monday, though, I ran my errands in south-wind weather. Gray, cloudy, light rain. Still, the fifty-five degrees from Monday was warmer than the same temperature today. So warm, in fact, far too many people were out in shorts and t-shirts. That has a way of wrecking the atmosphere of Christmas.
A friend of my mother’s, and of mine, took pity on me after my last I want snow! post and sent me a picture of her backyard in Wisconsin (thanks, Joan!):
Getting a picture like this one was such a pleasant surprise that I’m craving more. Anyone want to send me a shot of their white Christmas? I’d love to feature more wintery scenes for my next few posts, which is all the prize I could offer–having your picture featured in Peppermint Place. If you’d like to contribute to the cause, send your photo(s) to me at pprmint155@yahoo [dot] com.
Meanwhile, let me know:
Several years into it, and this blog still refuses to be categorized. It's eclectic and includes everything from writing posts to snippets from my ordinary life.

If you want snow, I’m sure Gully would share some with you. Check out this Alaskan snow @ http://gullible-gulliblestravels.blogspot.com/

Were it not that my load of snow is finally starting to melt, I’d promise to ship some your way as soon as Christmas was over!

I have last year’s snowy scenes but right now only a salt-and-pepper landscape and an icy driveway to offer. This is Michigan, though, and things could change at any moment.

Well, thanks for the offer, folks. If I can’t have a white Christmas, I’ll settle for a nippy one–chilled air on a sunny day.
Walk–I love Gully’s site. I think I found it on your site and go back periodically to see what she’s up to. She seems like such a cool lady!
