It’s snowing…..again.
I’m not a ‘snow hater’….not at all….after all….I was born and raised in Indiana!
But come on – it’s April. It’s April 6th…..or 7th….hell, I don’t know what time it is…or what day it is…..but I do know it’s April….as in “April showers…..blah blah blah….”
Snow makes me sleepy. It makes me feel woozy with thoughts of slumber…..long, restful, vacation like slumbers. Deep REM sleeps. Coma.
When it snows….I go into “lay on the couch and watch stupid tv and eat junk food” mode.
Hmmmmmm…..
Maybe I needed one more snow day. That one last blast of winter. One more day of laziness. Snuggling on the couch with fleece blankets and fluffy kittens piled on top. And how about a big “whoohooo” for an excuse to drink coffee all damn day. It’s friggin’ cold outside, eh?!
So like one last cry over a long, lost lover…..there is one last snow. (Better be the last damn snow until December!) I’ll not be a bitchy wannbe sandal wearer….I’ll be the chick on the couch…..fireplace a goin’……celebrity gossip magazines strewn everywhere…..coffee mug steaming…..woolly socks so soft and warm….
Damn….
Now I’m really starting to miss the idea of winter.
Maybe I will honestly shed a tear for another winter gone…..another season whipping by….zooming by at a fast, frothy pace — the days do seem to clip by faster with every year older that I get.
So I’ll enjoy this wintery spell….even though my phlox, hostas and iris’s will look like boiled cabbage when it’s all over….
It’s ok. Plants are resilient. And so am I. Especially after a good cry and a long nap!
