Snow looks so pretty coming
down, and at times I nearly miss it… but then I remind myself of how cold it
truly has to be to snow, hovering at thirty-two degrees brr and that you have
to shovel it or hire someone or ask someone …and besides it only looks good for
the first day or two, after that between cities trying to get rid of it with
dirty trucks with plows the snow turns black and cut off your driveway exit or
entrance, never mind what the doggies do to it, mellow yellow…
NAH whenever I “think” I miss
it I recall all that!
But then I remember the
sledding and snowball fights and pushing it off the frozen ponds to skate and I
get slightly nostalgic…but then I remember the worst of it and I am fine with
my choice of becoming a Florida person all those years ago, Ta da!
I was a northerner for
thirty-six years and only a southerner for these last nearly twenty-nine, and
yep I like it better, I surely do!
Although, my heart goes out
to my old school chums and friends and family having to contend with what the
meteorologists have predicted to be quite a BLIZZARD starting tonight with
heavy winds and two to three feet of snow!
Ah snow days and off from
school, another fond memory of why I did love it when it snowed as a child… but
over in the Second City AKA Chicago land it has been reported that they are
considering doing away with “Snow Days”, by cyber sending the children their
school assignments to continue to keep up with all their classwork… uh oh!
No more wearing those PJs
inside out to make it snow, anyway it only worked half the time, HA!
And so good for Chicago
trying to make school a priority and those children will be better for it;
albeit what if the power goes down or the wifi towers or however they plan on
sending those little ones their lessons might hit a glitch, so kiddies get
those sled and skates ready, it could happen, a true fun/break could ensue, ya
know?
Lastly ole buddies up
northern way be safe and careful and stay warm as you can for we are getting up
there in all our ages and ice is a hazard more so these days than not, and
driving should be minimized, better not at all, and wood should be chopped for those fireplaces,
just in case and food stocked up and yes all gizmos in the tech realm should
be charged… but remember those icicles can take down wires or even some towers come down,
and just make sure you have alternate ways to communicate…that ‘s all…I'm saying.
And most of all know that we
too here in chilly Florida might not be having snow, but it has not reached our
usual normal weather that we call FLORIDA, we too are cold, and it was in the
high forties last night and low seventies today here in Southwest Florida, can
you imagine brr too?
But seriously folks our
hearts and prayers go out to all of you and please stay warm and safe that’s
all…
And know that we all care here in
the Sunshine State… for we once were you… on that note of sincerity and
concern, allow me to be the very first to wish all of you a very happy good
night and ask you all to kindly count all your blessings and share all those
overages with you know who and we will too!
And next time please be here
or be square, ya hear!
