Be Careful What You Wish For
I want so much to be able to get a day's worth of arboretum pix in snow. But it never seems to stay until Sunday, which is my only day with time to do it. It always melts off by Sunday morning. I knew it was supposed to snow this weekend, though. Even though it was really warm, snow was coming. Yesterday, it snowed a bunch, but then it all melted off. By the end of the day, though it was cold, there just wasn't any remaining snow.
So last night, I asked for snow. Getting into my car to go to rehearsal. I stopped long enough to make the request aloud. Snow, I begged. Snow. Snow on Saturday night and stay through Sunday. Snow.
This is what we woke up to this morning.
It's mostly melted away again. For a while, it looked like snowing all day. Now we have blue sky peeping through the clouds. So after rehearsal--tech, with costumes and lights and sound--while walking to my car, I again addressed the sky. Stay, I whispered. Snow, then stay. At least through tomorrow. Here's hoping it works again.
And before I go, a question. Am I the only person in the world with "assistant"? This is the situation pretty much every time I sit down to work at my desk:
She's moved since I took the picture. Now, she's lying across my right forearm. Makes typing an adventure...
