Fire and Ice

Winter has been so tolerable this year, temps in the 50's, 60's even the 70's. And then this morning I woke to this...


A coating of frost on the car windows


I'm afraid winter has turned a cold shoulder to us and is here to stay my friends.


"Fire and ice
You come on like a flame
Then you turn a cold shoulder
Fire and Ice"

Things I've heard recently...
If you see a turtle on a fence post, somebody put it there. 



Wait, what??

Shake It Off

WINTER COLOR

“SHAKE IT OFF!” I hear a dad in the crowd calling out to his son on the soccer field after he was pushed to the ground. Then, after the game ends, as our team exits the field, heads hanging low after a tough loss I hear a different parent telling his son to “shake it off, you played good game”. Soooo…what do I say to my son?



 “I didn’t think that game would ever end, now let’s hurry up, we need to get out of here before it starts snowing again.”


And we book it outta there. I know, maybe I shoulda said something in regards to the game and how well he played, keep his chin up, and all that stuff, but really, it’s supposed to snow/sleet again. 






I am so DONE with this crappy weather. WHERE IS SPRING?



The countdown has begun, I hear them on the news saying, 18 more days ‘til Spring.
Ugh, and more snow is on the way? Really? I know that every year about this time, I cry “uncle” to old man winter as I am ready for spring to roll in. Yes, I know she will kick that old man to the curb when she gets here and bring with her warmer temps, later sunsets and yes, pollen. It all sounds so good right now, even the pollen. (And just so you know, I WILL complain about the pollen.)


So I guess what I really need is my dad to tell me, “Kim, shake it off, spring WILL be here before you know it!”

I hate winter, really I do…the haters gonna hate, I know!

Shake It Off - Taylor Swift
'Cause the players gonna play, play, play, play, play
And the haters gonna hate, hate, hate, hate, hate
Baby, I'm just gonna shake, shake, shake, shake, shake
I shake it off, I shake it off







Winter, not the most colorful season.

As I type this I am listening to the sleet hit the window, reminding me that those 18 days can seem like a lifetime.
