The Big Tease

I've lived long enough to know that Mother Nature has a sense of humor. Just the other day it was 50 degrees out, spring bulbs are popping up, the 2 feet of snow is all melted, the grass is fluffing up nicely and the birds are chirping up to fevered pitches. I was phasing out the winter gear by moving boots and heavy jackets downstairs. I was beginning to get my "happy" on after it's long winter's nap. The best thing of all was the fact that I finally was getting warm. Winter Out! Spring In!

I've lived 140 seasons to know better. That freakin' Groundhog was right. We still have 17 more days of winter and the evidence is right outside our window, in all it's frosted, white, fluffy glory.
