It’s snowing again. Word has it that in Central Park they have 44 more inches of snow than is usual. It’s just about the same all over the northeast. In the south, where they never have snow, they don’t know because no one has measured snow amounts before. And in the midwest, no one knows because no one can get out the door to measure the amounts.
That’s the bad news, the good news is that I can catch up on all the TCM movies I have already seen a million times – but this month is the Oscar month so all the movies have won awards. It doesn’t matter to me. The only thing that matters is if they still make me cry. With that in mind, today I watched “The Way We Were”. The blubbering has not yet ceased. Thank God “Dumbo” didn’t win anything or that would really put me over the edge.
The roads were terrible today (of course they were, it’s been snowing since my 5th birthday.) But I was out of dogfood, so we went to Pet Smart because they have the designer food Ty eats. He loves to go to Pet Smart. Actually he loves to go anywhere he can be social. Today he met a 3 month old Pekinese. They are the cutest pretend dogs imaginable. Ty just wanted to kiss him until he cried “Uncle”. Eventually the puppy needed to leave and Ty cried like they were best friends in the whole world. The removal of his new pal meant we had to find other ways to be entertained. So we looked at pet clothes. Under ordinary circumstances, they are pretty hilarious, but I bet you didn’t know that Martha Stewart has a pet clothing line. For a mere $30 your pet can have a dark blue wool pea jacket. And is it gorgeous, you bet. But even I wasn’t going to spend that kind of money on pet wear for a laugh. (This from a person who bought a leopard skin lounge for her puppy).
Tomorrow it’s supposed to be 40 degrees. That will mean a major melt and flooding. The newcasters recommended we check outside to make sure the drains and down spouts are not blocked. Just how do you do this under two feet of snow. First you have to dig out and you have to find a place to put the snow. There is no place to put anymore snow. There is no second, so don’t expect one. The sun needs to come out. Especially for those of us who need the sun to behave as normal people. It’s difficult for me to be normal under any circumstances – so you can only imagine.
Let me share this secret. Weather is not my friend. The heat does me in. And the cold is almost unbearable. But were I to chose between snow and a warm rain, I would opt for a shower any time. Snow Snow go away, give the rain a chance to play. We’re just sayin’…Iris

Check Building #9. Maybe there's a Pea Jacket there? You can bring to Nick the tailor to alter. xo
Why don't my other posts show? Why don't you check Building #9 for a Pea Jacket for Ty? Could take to Nick the tailor & alter. xo
Hi David,
I just saw a bleep about you on NBC during coverage of the Olympics. It peaked my interest and so I googled you, only to find out how eloquently you write. Delightful.
Will continue to follow your blog.

And then there was Crimea.
