The Gray Days

When I started this blog I thought I'd be able to find something about which I could "wax poetic" week after week. I was wrong.
This past month in the Hill Country can be easily summed up in few words.........gray. Oh, and wet. Though I know that the sun must have peaked out once or twice I can't seem to summon up a memory of a sunny day. For any of you up North of me, I know you've had it bad and I have no reason to whine but here in Central Texas we're just not accustomed to all this grayness.
People seem to be in especially bad moods and I find myself wanting to sleep all the time. Maybe because the only time I feel warm is when I'm under a couple of quilts. The cold is another thing. I did not move to Texas to be cold.
My house does not seem to have been build for cold weather, the back rooms are freezing so I spend most of my time huddled on the couch with several afghans tucked around me. At least I have a couple of garden catalogs to peruse. Theoretically I've spend hundreds of dollars on Richter's herb and Dutch bulbs.
At least when I nod off once again my dreams will be filled with Madame le Feber tulips surrounds by fifty kinds of thyme.
