Tired of cold, tired of snow, tired of winter



I've bundled up and walked in the snow 2 sweaters, a jacket, hat, gloves, fleece lined tights under my jeans and warm socks and boots on the warmest day of the week. It was a balmy 25 degrees Fahrenheit. The dog was happy and I tolerated it even enjoyed moments of watching her act silly and taking some photographs. It's pretty outside but I have a longing for warmth and sunshine and to see the world come alive around me with fragrant flowers that open up to the beautiful sunshine. I'm kind of like a broken record. I am tired of the cold and bleakness of winter.

This morning it was 6 below zero. My family in Marquette MI speak of 18 below. It's bad I know but cold is cold. I've gotten into the carbohydrates and then I scold myself all over again. Sigh! I started the year better but February has been like an endless Antarctica




I'm tired of shivering and dressing in layers of clothes. Sometimes I just can't get my happy face on.

Maybe I can take a long nap and dream of flower power! :-)






Sing, sing, sing birds this one wants to fly south!

  1. I know your dog loves the snow though, and I enjoyed seeing your photos. The other day one of my cousins posted on facebook that it was -22ยบ F in Harrison County, Kentucky. I know that my university has been closed all week.
