Winter Weariness

With immediate family outside Buffalo and in Boston, I have no right to complain about weather.  However as I sit here in the library looking out on snow/rain/slush coming out of the sky, I can't help but say that I am very ready for SPRING.

For those of you not acquainted with our dogs; Teddi is a friend to all creatures, and McTavish is afraid of all creatures except those he knows exceedingly well.  Similarly, Teddi loves the snow, and McTavish is afraid of and hates it.  McTavish also hates the cold.  On this one count I will cut him some slack, because he has a lot less fur on the pads of his paws than Teddi, I think the cold affects him a lot faster.  We have purchased little booties for the really cold days, but he (guess what?) hates those too. The point of all this information being that the people and the animals in our house are all ready for warmer weather.  

"I do not like the cold... or anything really..."

Spring also means hope and signs of new life to me.  I saw the order form for Easter flowers in the church newsletter yesterday and I could almost smells the lilies, hyacinth, daffodils and tulips.  



Hang on friends, we're almost there!
