May Snow



I know it doesn't look like much, but it snowed today. Today is May 1st. It was coming down horizontally from the North. Brrrr....

Luckily, I had remembered from teaching in Hawai'i that "May Day is Lei Day in Hawai'i." Therefore, we "threw our cares away" for a few minutes and made leis with yarn, construction paper flowers, and cut up drinking straws. We also danced the Hukilau for good measure. After all, we are half way through testing.

So, this snow business...it has Facebook lit up like a Christmas tree! There are the people posting pictures of snow in their various locations: Utah, Denver, etc. There are people exclaiming, "Are you kidding??? It's 85 degrees here!" There is that predictable group of people who love to post things like, "What is the big deal? It usually DOES snow here on May 1st. Where have you been?"

Which is all some study in psychology I'm sure. Here's the thing...the weather just never gets old. People joke about not having anything better to speak of, but the weather sure is notorious. And talked about. Hence, today's post. You should go check your Facebook page now!

  1. You are right. I had a friend in Wyoming posting photos of the piles of snow in her driveway!
