The winter that wasn't...

...no snow, but alot of rain & blow...


Poem Artwork

Less than an inch of snow,

A lot of rain & wind though,

Temps not too very low,

Spring coming in already but slow…

 

Only once or twice did we get cold,

Around the first of the year,

Two days at below thirty,

Wasn’t very bad though, not something to fear…

 

Now everyone is complaining of bugs,

Flying creatures as well as creepy crawlers,

Over the winter they did not die off,

Granted we cannot give them hugs,

But they are still a gift from God,

So stop whining all you bawlers…J

I can recall winters where we had only 1 inch of snow & because it was so icy, nothing was able to move around.....I can also recall winters where the closes snowfall fell over 50 miles away from Philly and the suburbs.

Amen! With the awakening of Spring comes the march of the insects!!! giggle...Our winter here in Maritime Canada wasn't too bad this year either...nothing compared to last year! And the birds are returning...albeit they're landing in the snow....

No winter to speak of here either although you would not be able to tell that from the last week. Still, the winters seem to have gone away. Love and peace,

I grant you that all creatures should be considered a gift but why exactly were we given WASPS!

Hah! Yeah, I remember your near panic last year about the approaching winter and the fuel situation. You boarded everything up in preparation for the winter that wasn't.

Turn Over a Brand New Leaf, Bro,

Give a Tiny Creepy Crawler a Hug,

And Adopt a Fuzzy Little Caterpillar,

Don't Squish Those Ants on Your Rug.



And Don't Worry About That Tiny Little Mouse,

The Valiant Sir Cur Will Soon Be On His Way;

Tell Him That The Mice Are Also 'Gifts from God,'

And Tell Him, To Rescue Another Canine, Today.
