Winter

A few days ago I had the pleasure of talking to my lovely cousin Emily on Skype.  She is a busy lady and it was because of the snowstorm, she had some free time.  She was nice enough to open up her door and let me see what all the fuss was about.  She turned the computer around and all I could see was white everywhere.  I have heard also about some fun my cousins Adam, William and my niece Maddie had one snowy night when they were treated to a ride on a sled.  I am missing the snow this year...big time...currently around 20 inches in Warrensburg.

In light of the massive snow storm that went through the midwest, I thought I would take a minute to talk about my winter.  For the most part, it has been pretty nice here.  Not too bad.  Mostly, we have rain.  It is strange because a few days ago we had a glorious day.  It was sunny and warm-ish and beautiful.  There was a slight breeze.  I drove around seeing people out running or playing some kind of sport thinking about how nice it was that the mud had dried up.  I went to sleep happy about the beautiful day and looking forward to morning, assuming it would be the same.  I awoke to rain.  Lots of rain.  It had begun raining during the night and didn't finish until evening.  It was so cold and the mud was back.  I am tired of this mud. 

I know that some of you might be tired of the snow and all of the inconvenience that it causes.  It is cold and makes getting out and about much harder.  But think about this, one of my neighbors, Gary, gets the bottom of his pants muddy when he thinks about walking around outside.  It is crazy.  A couple of days ago, I got mud on my face, I was a big disgrace.  Enjoy the snow.  It will be spring soon.
