Oh, what a day!
This morning it was snowing.
By mid-morning it was blowing.
Just before noon there was some slush.
When I went out for lunch, everything was covered in mush.
By afternoon break it was warm and cozy.
Such a lovely walk on near dry sidewalks made my cheeks glow rosy.
Leaving the office too late in the evening was a walk in the rain.
And now I sit here with thunder and lightning wishing for snow again.
Oh, what a day!
PS: We had fog a few days ago.
The cat said, “What’s outside?”
The person said, “Danger, my friend. Danger.”
The cat asked, “Why?”
The person said, “Predators, extreme weather, and traffic.”
The cat said, “Is it worth it to keep me in here?”
The person said, “You are a treasure. It is well worth it to keep you safe, healthy, warm, and loved.”
The cat said, “Thank you, my friend. I love you too … most of the time.”
Giving thanks for seasons. Even though it was supposed to be 46 F today and it was only 30 F so that the second snow fall of the year is sticking. Brrrrr!
Then again, it’s Michigan – wait a few minutes, hours, or days and the weather will change.
Winter
Spring
Summer
Autumn
Here’s an image from last year April. The buds will not be this far in bloom before the end of April this year.
That is a good thing.
This year, the buds are arriving slowly and on time.
That is a good thing.
This year, the weather is warming slowly and over time.
That is a good thing.
So long as the rest of the year is calm and kind, we’ll have apples, peaches, pears, and plums in the autumn.
That is a delicious thing!

Dear Mother Nature,
I have defended your chilly winds, snowy days, and gray rains. No, Michigan is not supposed to have temperatures in the 80s in January, February, or March like it was for a time last year. We needed the chilly weather and rain to have great produce in the fall. But aren’t you taking this a bit far?
It’s late April. Yes, we need April Showers for May Flowers. But really? Snow? Hail? Freezing rain? Mother Nature, this is taking it to the extreme.
We, the people of these United States, are ready for the temperatures you have made us accustom to in April. We’ve taken the brunt, we’re ready for the reward of spring. And then summer. Take your time with autumn. Winter is needed, but no rush, so long as it’s a white Christmas.
Yours sincerely,
We, the People
Lovers of Warmth
PS: By warmth, I don’t mean hot. Let’s not go overboard like last summer with lots of temps in the sweaty, nasty 90s. Seriously, some moderation, please!
It’s warm in here.
It’s cold outside.
I love to sit in here,
when it’s cold outside.
I love to have tea
by warm candlelight.
It’s warm in here.
It’s cold outside.
Morale of the Story: I love Michigan, and I enjoy it most from the inside during the cold and snow of winter outside.
Once again
this home
is blanketed
in snow,
and we
have a
protective
guard.
Thank you,
Rufus!
