Are you sick of everyone talking about the weather? I am too, but here goes…
There is so much snow on the ground, I don’t know when it’ll all melt. On top of that, much of it has iced to the extent that moving it from one place to another requires a pick ax. Walking in the back yard to fill the bird feeders is like walking on a bumpy ice rink. There are trees and bushes that need a bit of first aid to remove partially broken branches, but I don’t dare risk skating across the ice with my pruners. Not yet anyway.
Still, there is hope. Although we’re expecting snow flurries today, the weather should warm up into the forties in the next few days, providing some melting relief.
But really, all this unrelieved WHITE is getting to me!

I saw red sky this morning! We’ll see if the old adage holds true…

The sun is out today but it’s still pretty cold. I am happy with some sun though. It’s been a dark winter.

Your winter sounds like it has been pretty rough. The east coast is having flurries and here in the great northwest I am happily gardening away. Our summers rarely climb into the 80s but our winters rarely get below 40. The problem is that this winter has been very mild so now everyone is worrying about the snow pack. We may have water restrictions for the first time here this summer.

Have you ever wondered what would happen if the weather was banned as a topic of conversation? Would we wander around like zombies because we couldn’t think how to initiate dialogue, or would we learn to become much more creative conversationalists?
