Summer has gone south for the winter...

Damn those people in the southern hemisphere, they did steal our summer weather...


Poem Artwork

Okay, it’s not yet winter,

But summer is definitely gone,

It’s getting colder each morning,

Thankfully I have “SOME” heat,

I took the weather guys warning…

 

Closed off a few windows,

Of the jalousie variety,

Not all done yet,

As the temps don’t yet get,

Far below the forty degree mark,

Trust me though, everyone in the park,

Are making their winter preparations,

This place will soon get empty, almost stark…

 

So, what the hey, winter has to sometime come,

Hopefully the snow won’t get too deep,

As without the Jeep I’ve got to live on the cheap,

But for so many years I drove rear wheel drive,

Front wheel drive will have to be what I do this winter with survive…

We are all preparing like squirrels. At least now you can see their tracks in the snow.

Ho Ho HO...let it snow, let it snow, let it snow. Actually buddy up here in Nova Scotia this weekend everyone was walking around in shorts and tshirts enjoying a late fall summerish day.

So, what the hey, winter has to sometime come

And man, they say out here in the Midwest, we are gonna have fun,
They predict we'll get 60 inches of snow before this winter's done.

I love winter but I don't really have to deal with much of its disadvantages. I wish you well with the coming season my friend. Love and peace,

It is supposed to be in the mid-eighties down here in the swamp, old pal. I remember the years I lived in New York (Long Island) and there were days I couldn't get out of the house the snow had drifted so high against the door.
