Happy Groundhog Day! If the current weather is any indication, I predict that winter will end three months early.
We have had such warm temperatures lately. I normally would say such a thing makes me happy, but it’s only the beginning of February! This warm weather makes me feel like spring is just around the corner, but it’s not. It’s a mile down the road, over a bridge, through a tollgate, and then around the corner. So instead of winter-cold air and some snow every once in a while, we have temperatures in the 50′s and 60′s and rain. And all the plants are dormant. There isn’t even the yellow cheer of daffodils. And I can’t wear my hat. And this is going to last for three more months?
Are warm temperatures nice? I guess. But I find myself wishing for winter.
What a heartbreakingly excellent description. It’s like we’re in an endless loop of late winter/ early spring that will only end when Andie MacDowell breaks the spell.
But the real question is this: can something “end” that never really “began”? Doggone La Nina…grrr…
I feel silly with snowmen and snowflakes in my room and on my windows. There’s just something wrong with that.
It was indeed strange walking in the door after work yesterday wearing cordoroys (or “whistle pants” my mom would say) and a sweater while a young elementary school boy walking home from school sported shorts and a t-shirt.
My mother was yelling at the tips of something poking up in her garden the other day, “Go back to sleep you stupid plant! It’s still winter!”
I too feel like we’re going to have very mild temps. from here on out….with maybe a cold day thrown in here & there.
Now, with the temperatures we’ve been having, why are you wearing a coat (see Article 1, picture above)?
Who is your perfect guy?
This is a man we’re talking about, right?
I’m a god.
You’re God?
I’m a god. I’m not *the* God… I don’t think.
Don’t you worry about cholesterol?
I don’t worry about anything.
HA! Happy Groundhog Day!
I was carrying the coat over my arm. I had worn it in the morning and was just returning from school when I took that picture.
I LOVE the movie “Groundhog Day”. I should watch it today. But I don’t own it. Maybe I’ll go to the video store on my way home. Yes.
