Story-A-Day #356: Iced Lettuce




ICED LETTUCE

It isn't really lettuce. That part is obviously just in your head. But it is iced. That part is real. Undeniably and unequivocally real.

It's a little weird for sure, but that is the world you live in: a world of iced lettuce. It kind of makes you want to laugh a bit doesn't it?

Iceberg lettuce, sure. Ornamental lettuce-type garden accoutrement covered in a thin layer of ice? Doesn't make as much sense.

One should not be able to coexist with the other. Am I right?

The thing is, this "lettuce" is an outdoor plant, and outdoors is slowly sinking into a sub-zero climate. A sub-zero climate known as winter.

That's right my friend, winter is upon us. It won't be long before we also have iced roads, windows, doors, cars, and faces added to the list. For now though, we are gifted with iced lettuce. Not a bad exchange when you get down to it.

Sure things will only get worse as the temperature continues to drop, but for now - this is where we are. For now, we live in a world of iced ornamental lettuce. In a month, or a week, or maybe even a day, we will undoubtedly be in a whole new world of iced everything.

Be happy for now, that your biggest concern only needs to be a frozen non-edible head of faux lettuce because things are only going to get colder and less edible as the days grow shorter and winter grows longer. Such is the nature of the frigid beast that is upon us.
