SNOW!!?!

I am trying to be grateful for snow...we need it.

Last year we had none and I whined.

We have it this year and I am whining.

Summer will come and I will whine about the heat, and wish we had snow.

Snow is great when you don't have to go out in it.

I use to love the snow but cannot seem to warm up this year.

I think my thermostat is broken.

But I do love this tree because all the wood peckers hang out at the suet bar.

I run to get my camera because the red-haired wood pecker was there and I was not fast enough.

All the bird feeders are empty. 

 We have hungry (and sometimes angry) birds. 

 It doesn't take them long to eat us out of house and home. 

Now I have to go out into the snow to pick up kids from school.

Three coats, two pair of gloves, hat, scarf and my mukluks later and I am off.

Then I see all the kids in shorts walking to or from school.

Is it my age?

We have been here long enough to be acclimated.

Or so I think. 

OK, now I am rambling because I want to avoid the inevitable.

To the outside I GO, then while I am dressed I might as well shovel the walks.

Did I say I LOVE snow yet?!?

Hoping you are warm,

Barb
