It Wasn’t Me!

When I arose this morning the world outside had turned completely white. Three inches of snow covered every surface as far as the eye could see. The wind was driving more snow from sky to ground. Not a pretty sight on April 7th.

It wasn’t me that tempted fate! My snow pants remain waiting on the chair in the bedroom, just in case. My winter boots are set carefully by the door, in the ready. Somebody else out there jumped the gun, daring mother nature to retaliate. It does not do to make assumptions about the weather. I had my hopes, surely, but I won’t be putting away my winter gear for a few weeks to come.

We took our morning walk this morning in the falling snow, with ice and slush underfoot, and a brisk wind to remind us that mother nature does what she deems expedient.

A busy morning for me in the kitchen, lots of little things to do. Ginger did not approve. He appeared beside me several times, verbally chastising me each time. He followed me around, more verbal complaints. When I finally came into the living room to sit in my easy chair, he hopped up onto the couch where he could see me, crossed his front legs in front of him, sighed, and fell asleep. He had quite an exhausting morning trying to coral me into the living room and onto my chair!
