Winter last so long
Where I live
It seems Spring’s so far away
I wish Winter would go a way.
Today is cold and dreary
Snow is sprinkling down
The grass that was green
Now white is lying on the ground.
Birds are on their way
To find their homes once had
Hibernating animals are
Are poking their heads and I’m glad.
One more month til legal Spring
And I am counting down
Please go a way dear winter
Let me get out and walk around.

Truly beautiful .. even if I love the winter – when it’s suppose to be winter. Spring can wait .. otherwise the whole nature goes wrong.

I understand that, Terry … we are all longing for the spring – that’s how we all are – we had heavy snow in May .. so that’s why I want winter to be winter .. don’t want snow in April or May. Bring it on now!

we have had light snow in may also. usually on my birthday it pours rain. it is so disappointing to see snow in spring. the weather has definitely changed through the years. it seems winter starts later and last longer

We are supposed to have snow tonight and tomorrow after a bright sunny day today. But it is really cold – going down to 8′ tonight with a high of only 18′ tomorrow. Then on Monday it is supposed to be 33′ with a mix of sun and cloud. I just want to be warm again when I go outside. I guess we just have to be patient. Easier said than done. 🙂
