GOD GIVETH AND TAKETH AWAY

A lot of people are mad right now. The last week has been exceptionally beautiful weather wise, and today we got hit with some real nasty weather. The trouble is we expect it to last a few days.

I’m not a fan of snow, except that eventually it melts. What I really hate are the leaves when they fall and pile up. My man Bill next door has a running joke with me whenever it snows: “Hey Joe, how do you like this snow?” My response is: “at least it melts, leaves don’t go away on their own.”

Today’s storm is kind of nasty, mixing in with sleet and cold damp shrouding of everything breathing, and even those who don’t breath, me for instance.

After a week of great temperatures, everyone had spring fever, fever with a fervor so to speak as spring arrives next week.

Once we are into spring it all becomes agonizing as we wait for the weather to get warmer, having what we think spring should feel like but never comes. No, instead of the spring-like weather we will go from cold days to humidity and ask: “What happened to spring?” It happens it seems every year.

Why would anyone pray for snow? You see on bumper stickers all the time, Crazy
