Cold Feet

Yesterday, the weather was like a early SPRING day.  Coveting the Spring.  Though we are one day closer to Spring, it seems to be taking forever to get here.  I have to stay busy indoors to make the time go faster.  THOUGHTS of what will need done when SPRING arrives have come to mind.
  
Today, it snowed.  WIND came later in the day.  When I awoke, I looked out the bedroom window to see the snow on the ground.  Flakes were falling.  Like a child I squealed with excitement as if it were Christmas morning with presents under the tree.  FRESH SNOW covering the canvas of nature making everything appear so clean.

By the time I walked downstairs and took my morning meds, the snow had stopped.  Stopped.  I let out a small whimper.  Disappointed I would not get to watch the big flakes fall to the ground.  Pout.  I went about my chores as if I had no time to watch nature's flurry.  She simply stopped.

I continued glancing through Early American Life and LIVING magazines learning new techniques to bake and cook and clean.  Martha would be proud of me.

Learning how to preserve Holly at Christmas time by dipping the holly in clear furniture wax and placing the dripping sprigs on newspaper to dry.  Reading about different salads for meals.  Meat preparations.  A multitude of knowledge found in all these OLD magazines.      

In the middle of the afternoon the snow began to fall again.  Wind accompanied the white fluff.  Turning my head, I did watch the snow blow about.  Hours later the snow was still falling.  Temps were dropping and our SPRING DAY went by way too fast.  A taste of what is to come before the tornadoes cause havoc in Kansasland.  When it's WINTER, the threat of tornadoes is very slim.  

No lawn mowers going in the snow.  A constant buzz in the season of sunshine and SUMMER.  Even in late AUTUMN.  Today it was quiet without the busy-ness of others working to tend to their lawns.  Shoveling may come tomorrow.

This evening the christmas tree sparkles with twinkle lights.  Standing in the screened-in porch like a WINTER WONDERLAND fixture.  If I were to create a window display for a Department Store like I did 40 years ago, I'd have crystal, plastic or paper snowflakes hanging from the ceiling dangling from ribbons.  What a sight that would be.

THINKING about current events.  Opinions I have as most every one else does.  It's alright to have opinions.  It's the American way.  On my BLOG I avoid posting personal opinions about political toxins...with facebook opinions seems to hit a raw nerve in many especially if you have a difference of opinion than theirs.  It gets heated rather quickly.

The snow would melt if spoken,
