Think Spring

Wishful thinking? Exactly ! Don't get me wrong here, I'm not complaining. I hate complainers. Complaining gets you nowhere. No matter what you are complaining about, it won't change a thing. But I'm here to tell you, this winter thing this year bites. Sure we need the moisture, that's a given. And we are blessed in our little vortex to not be getting slammed like millions of others including our friends in the northern and eastern part of the state. But I've had enough already. Last week we were under the impression, thanks to the weather gods/gurus that we were going to dry out and have a nice sunny ending to February. I was wrong to believe them for they know not what they speak of. I was more on the money when I forecast the weather "Yes, there will be weather". Living in The Land of Enchantment for the past 8 years has proved the old saying around here, "if you don't like the weather, wait 5 minutes, it will change". But does that mean it has to change every 5 minutes? Why yes, that's exactly what it means. OK, so now that I got that off my chest, I guess my complaining is done. Now on to better thoughts, like green grass, pretty flowers everywhere, gardening, sunshine, lollipops and roses. Come on Spring, we can do this. Remember what I said about complainers? I lied, so sue me.
