There's something about extreme wind that has always slightly offended me, but now's my opportunity to make peace with Brother Wind. I'm actually inspired by that.Susan Carpenter Simshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13566372904106529839noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-5196835534722461592011-02-16T11:38:34.176-05:002011-02-16T11:38:34.176-05:00I really wish Brother Wind would get his fat rear ...I really wish Brother Wind would get his fat rear end up to Canada and blow all the winter away from here too!!!<br />I am meaning no disrespect to this entity... but the rumblings and shouting are not happening here for a while yet, I'm afraid Reya. The District of Columbia is always blessed with a beautiful early spring. Why any day now, I will be sneering at the President on the news as he walks among the cherry blossoms, while I will be donning my boots to go outside and shovel the friggin' snow! We're still dining on butter chicken, curries and naan bread and only dreaming about yummy crab cakes. Enjoy your wonderful spring dinner, dear Reya!! My spring dinners will have to wait until April. =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241402645242821612noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2607471777855707790.post-39061722471188179932011-02-16T09:56:24.968-05:002011-02-16T09:56:24.968-05:00Me too!

The snow on the roof was melting so fast in looked almost like rain. <br /><br />The cat, who has been totally indoors for weeks, demanded that the door be opened, went out, and actually walked around the perimeter of the house (carefully avoiding the snow that covers most of the ground) before coming in again.<br /><br />Spring!
