I can't believe the headlines,
Snow may be on its way,
For San Francisco natives,
We don't know what to say!
I had lived here just a month,
When snowfall made the news,
In the thirty-five years since,
We've had no wintery blues!
Imagine all the crazy thrills,
With snow adhering to our hills!

He felt compelled to say.
The coldest Winter ever spent
Was Summer by the Bay

I am experiencing very hot sun over here.
ReplyDeleteI am imagining fun times that resemble Olympic bobsledding. lol Nice 55!
ReplyDeleteWow, Carmen, I'm not sure about snow on hills, but I have a funny suspicion whatever those yellow blooms are I'd be very allergic to!
ReplyDeleteAnd hey, I will be making YOU the 3rd next sidebar button that will appear at my site. It's high time, my hear!

Great poem. My son is stationed in San Fran. with the USCG right now. He will be glad if it snows there!
ReplyDeleteI saw on the news that you might get some. We expect pictures!

I'm in Santa Cruz tomorrow, overnight, to hear my jazz singer friend. We, clearly, won't be hanging out at the beach boardwalk during the day if it's 30 degrees out. I've got to go and dig out a winter coat!

People have a hard enough time managing the hill in bright, warm, sunny weather! I went through two clutches in short order when I first moved here!

During my first summer time ( June ) visit to San Francisco in 1963, I was wearing a long winter coat with a little mink collar!

I don't know why I would expect us to escape the crazy weather the rest of the country has been having. But I hate to see all the beautiful blooming trees messed up.

I know how warm it is in Malaysia!! Our cruising days there, we never needed a sweater! It was always beautiful beach weather.

Olympic bobsledding would be a good description, I think! It could all be a fluke and nary a flake might fall from the sky though it is coming down plenty four hours away at Lake Tahoe, Nevada, much to the delight of skiers.

Those brilliant yellow trees are acacias and, yes, it's just one of many things flowering now that are causing grief for allergy sufferers ( me included )...to have a spot on your "wall of friends" would, indeed, be an honor. It is such a special place!

I'm glad your son is taking care of our beautiful shores. Is he career in the Coast Guard?

I'm off to Santa Cruz in the morning for an overnight with two friends. Sony Holland ( my
jazz singer friend ) will be performing with her husband. I'll see her there, then head back for her San Francisco performance on Sunday. Maybe I'll miss any snow flurries.
Catching up. Stay warm! Hope all is well in your world. x
