If you don't live here, you may have heard that Colorado is getting snow. But the truth is, we haven't had much snow down in the city. Although Denver is a mile high, it sits in a valley - lower than surrounding regions and much lower than the mountainous regions with peaks rising to 14,000 feet. Snow in the mountains is good news for the ski resorts and our low reservoirs. But in Denver, we've had weather well into the 60s in December. And here I am still dreaming of a white Christmas.I am considering trying to conjure one up by watching endless reruns of White Christmas. Maybe Bing Crosby and Rosemary Clooney can work some white magic in Colorado in 2012 like they did in the 50s in Pine Tree, Vermont. Or maybe I should put the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band's "Colorado Christmas" on endless repeat on the iPod.
So in an attempt to help things along a bit and get me one step closer to walking in a winter wonderland this Christmas, on the sixth day of Christmas, here's our carol:
- Walking in a Winter Wonderland Miles from my House in my Slippers and Robe (G30.9, Alzheimer's disease, unspecified and F02.80, Dementia in other diseases classified elsewhere without behavioral disturbances)
