This was the first major snowfall we had this year, January 5th.
Isn't it just beautiful? I stayed with my mother because we knew this was coming, and she lives less than a block from where I work. It was completely clear when I went into work, but this was my walk back to her house at around 3:45 that afternoon.
This was the last time it looked this pretty.
...and this never melted...
...and we've gotten several more inches on top of this...
...with black ice...
...and pot holes...
...cars that don't want to start...
...trashcans frozen in place...
...and $300 heat bills...
ATTENTION:
AN OPEN LETTER TO WINTER
I'm done with you.
I've loved you for 37 years, but now it's over. My hair is so dry it's breaking off in places, and my skin is so dry it's cracking...literally. My knuckles look and feel like I've been in a fist fight, red and swollen and caked in blood. I draw the line at violence.
Please pack your bags and leave.
Klaudete, I hope Winter takes note and leaves early. Don't think he is that cooperative, though :(
ReplyDeleteshhhhh....don't say that, positive thoughts only, lol. We're so desperate around here for some above freezing temps that when it got up to 28 the other day I seriously saw three people in shorts...and one idiot in flip flops.
DeleteI love your letter to winter! If only it would work we would all write.....a letter everyday if it helped. Oh well, it has been pretty. Your pictures are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteThanks Nan. It was worth a shot...and it felt good too, like telling off a worthless ex kind of good, lol.
