C'mon summer!


Those of us that are stuck in the northern hemisphere are starting to wonder if summer, let alone spring, will ever reveal itself to us again. Every year at this time, winter starts to take a bit of a stronger hold on me. At the start, we all can't wait for the first frost (to kill the misquotes). Then the first snow, in anticipation of Christmas and holiday gatherings. Then we have time to play in it for awhile, then.... I wish it would leave. Adios. Show me the sun, grass, rain!! Don't get me wrong, I love the change of season. I don't think I could live somewhere where the seasons didn't change, but winter seems to be lasting forever once we hit February. Maybe the warm weather is like anything else, if you have to much of something good, you'll get tired of it. For example, if you live on Lake Michigan and always felt the cool breeze off the lake in July, or hear the gentle lapping of the waves as you wake up in the morning, or see the bright orange sun settle softly in the lake at the end the day, you might just get tired of it. Um..NO!! I don't know about you, but I was just there! Just hang in there my fellow snow people, we have only a few months left.

Hey, that first comment is spam. Don't click on that link.

As for winter, well, I'm OK with it right now because I get to use my snowblower, which is just FREAKING AWESOME. But I could do without the rain.
