SNOW

It was 103 degrees here in Las Vegas yesterday. I'm a Michigan girl and I just don't do well in the heat. When it's sweltering outside I like to read a book that is set in winter and forget that it is an intolerable 130 degrees inside my car.

Photo I took outside our apartment building when we lived in South Korea.

My son's Caleb's current favorite silly poem:

SNOWBALL

I made myself a snowball

As perfect as could be.

I thought I'd keep it as a pet

And let it sleep with me.

I made it some pajamas

And a pillow for its head.

Then last night it ran away.

But first--it wet the bed.
