Hope??

 There's another storm coming through. This one's an icy one. There will be snow in and around Athens and probably on Poros

Those in charge of weather things name our storms now. They are going through the Greek alphabet Α,Β,Γ,Δ and now E. This storm has been named Elpitha which means Hope. Honestly out of all the ancient names beginning with an E they came up with one meaning Hope. Who was the person with the twisted sense of humour that came up with that?



Our wood pile
We stocked up on a ton of olive wood last week

Today a few snowflakes fell and we were jumping with excitement. Hard to imagine for most of you.

    I would not have imagined you getting ice and snow. Hope that Hope doesn't outstay her welcome.

      Her stay is supposed to be three days. Long enough!

      I did think of you actually when I wrote about the snowflakes. an every winter event for you, and not just a snowflake or three.

      I hope Hope is kind enough to give us a shovelful full of white stuff. We are still waiting

    Very bland here. Temperatures between 7 and 10 C. Very dull, but with occasional sunshine.

    I love a good storm, especially in Winter, send it here, it's a perfect opportunity to get into a good book with a blanket.

      You're darn right there. A book, or some crochet, and a roaring fire. Maybe the sun will disappear soon

    Even I - who have an intense dislike of cold - used to enjoy that ‘magical’ sight of snow falling. Soft looking…..then it turns all slushy and yuk.
    Enjoy it if it does fall - and never give up Hope. She may not be as fierce as expected
