Days Like This: California Dreamin'

California Dreamin'

Ok, so this has been going on for 4 days now. I suppose we could have gotten a whole lot more than the 12+ inches that have fallen so far. But enough is enough. It's only the beginning of December! And the forecast calls for another 4 days of the white stuff.

Lucky Jim, he's basking in the sun in Mexico. Missing the falling flakes. His friend Pete left his car here. And I had to put it on the lawn so the roofing guys could put the dumpster and trailer in the driveway. (Yes, we're getting a new roof in the middle of the winter.) Guess they'll have fun digging it out when they get home. (I can't deprive them of such fun!)

At least Jim bought the snow blower before he left for the sun and sand. Thank you!

The reason Pete's car is buried in snow in the yard! Yes, they brought it on Friday. The dumpster comes tomorrow. Oh joy. At least I'll only have half the driveway to clear now...

You have to admit, though, the stuff is pretty.

And it makes the Christmas decorations sparkle.

Days Like This

Van Morrison

When it's not always raining
When there's no one complaining
When everything falls into place like the flick of a switch
Well, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"

When you don't need to worry
When no one's in a hurry
When you don't get betrayed by that old Judas kiss
Oh, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"

When you don't need an answer
When you don't meet a chancer
When all the parts of the puzzle start to look like they fit
Then I must remember there'll be days like this

When everyone is up front and they're not playing tricks
When you don't have no freeloaders out to get their kicks
When it's nobody's business the way that you wanna live
I just have to remember there'll be days like this

When no one steps on my dreams
When people understand what I mean
When you ring out the changes of how everything is
Well, my mama told me, "There'll be days like this"
