Spring???

We had one awesome day here where it was 75 degrees and the next day it promptly went back to chilly temperatures with a north wind. It has gone steadily downhill all last week where the highs were only in the 40's. I am so over winter. I was over winter by January 15th. It won't quit. MAKE IT STOP, ALREADY!

And just when I thought I was the only person crazy enough to have a mental breakdown over weather, my seven-year-old son piped up out of the blue yesterday with this little observation:

Gosh! I wish Old Man Winter would just DIE ALREADY!



My sentiments exactly.

Snowflake

I see you snowflake

dancing in the breeze

playfully tumbling

outside my window

begging for someone

to come out and play.

I see you snowflake

calling my children

out to play

with the promise

of snow angels and forts

snowball fights and snowmen

and if they are lucky

a snow day.

I see you snowflake

taunting me

teasing me

reminding me to salt the walk

shovel the drive

play with the dog.

I see you little snowflake

at first glance

you are beautiful

but I am not impressed

Go back where you came from!

You are not welcome here!
