Winter, I'm Tapping Out

The view from my warm truck beats the heck out of shivering in a nasty cold wind on icy sidewalks.

I try to be stoic about winter. I swear I honestly like it (😄). Well, I don’t hate it. I’ve been something of a wimp this week though, as temperatures haven’t risen above freezing for several days. I normally walk my son the short block to school no matter the weather because come on, it’s one block. Not this week though! Icy sidewalks, frigid winds, I’ve had enough. As I looked around in the drop off lane this morning, I noticed two of my neighbors also dropping off their lucky children. I felt a little less guilty about wimping out over 14 degrees and a little more confident in proclaiming that I am over winter! Got that Mother Nature?! Serve up some spring!

Summer Says Goodbye

The last raspberries.

I picked a bowl full of raspberries yesterday and, as usual, couldn't help but smile at the contrast between the berries and the leaves.  Looking at them though, I felt a little sad.  These are the probably the last of summer's fruit.  The leaves sport hints of yellow and brown.  There's a soft freeze due later in the week and we won't get more berries after that.  So, here's summer, saying goodbye.  Au revoir summer.  I'll see you next year.

Inaugural Post

I have another blog by this name but I don't like it.  It's a Word Press site and frankly, I am not serious enough about blogging to spend the time learning to use it.  I prefer blogger and I'm sticking to it.  So, I will probably repost some of my favorite things from that blog and then resume not blogging here just like I did there.  :D
