SIX WEEKS TIL SPRING!

I'm so glad that we have four seasons. I wonder if I would ever tire of just perfect weather all of the time. In the spring, I think it will be nice to have summer and fresh vegetables and fruits. When summer comes and hangs around too long, I long for the cooler days of fall. The fall leaves turn their blazing colors and oh my, how beautiful! Then there is winter. I can't think about what it would be like without a little snow at Christmas. That would be rather weird. But of all the seasons, I like winter the least. If one could stay indoors and not have to go out to get groceries, go to the doctor, etc. then winter wouldn't be quite as bad.

The ground hog saw his shadow and they claim we have six more weeks of winter. It will be nice to see the green grass and smell the fresh earth again.

A snowy winter that comes to my mind is when I was going to work and it was extremely icy, and snowing. Since I was running late, I was really trying to step up the pace for fear I would be late. Didn't want any nasty looks staring at me (believe me there were a few). The firemen had just finished washing the firetrucks. With the ice that already was on the sidewalk, fresh water on top, and snowflakes on top of that, it was an accident just waiting to happen. Yes, I fell so quickly that I had hit my head before my body could catch up. That was the closest I had ever came to being knocked out. Yes, there were stars that were dancing around my head. Due to this fall, I walked around about six weeks in what would be a daze or dizzy feeling. Yes, I had a mild concussion. During this same period of ice, a lady had gone out their back steps and fell and died due to the fall and ice. Maybe this is the reason, I have high respect for the ice and how it leave a terrific punch.

Oh you people in that perfect weather and environment, you just don't know what it is to have the best of all the world. Now who am I kidding! Right now I would change places with you. Spring is coming and hopefully soon.
