WHEN SNOW DIDN'T FALL

The light dusting of snow didn't arrive as expected.  There was what appeared to be the start of snow today afternoon, but it ended just as it was starting.  More like a false start to the falling snow rather then the actual falling of snow.  So it's cold outside without a drop of snow in sight.  More like the extension of autumn with colder than average temperature.  As always, I approach this as a mixed blessing.  Yeah, I don't have to shovel snow from the driveway.  However, I treat snow as proof that if Global Warming is a threat to the human race, that thankfully such a problem hasn't arrived yet and hope for salvation might still be available.  Anyway, there is no snow here in Columbus, Ohio.  Perhaps there will be snow tomorrow.  The Gentle Reader and I will know for certain when tomorrow eventually arrives.
And as I'm lost in thought close to the opening days of Winter, here are some photos of Vanessa Hudgens.

TODAY IS A DAY FOR OPTIMISM

And I chose to look out of the window.  Just for a few seconds.  Just to see what was outside.  There is a large grassy field where two road extensions intersect.  And the empty grassy field is next to three warehouses.  And the empty grassy field is being mowed today.  The empty grassy field isn't mowed all the time, but today was the day for the mower to keep the grassy field nice and trim.  And the sky is a deep shade of blue with a few clouds above me.  Ah yes, it's a calm and relaxing day.  It's a good day to be alive.  And I feel overwhelming optimism about today.  There is no worry.  There is no concern.  Today is a day for optimism.
And as I'm lost in thought as I look outside of the window, here are some photos of Willa Holland.
