I was really hoping not to see the word "Snow" in our forecast for a while yet. Yes, I know that it is too warm for snow to stay and it will melt right away. But there is something about seeing white flakes falling from the sky this early that is just depressing.
I know that I have nothing to complain about. Those poor folks in the Dakotas who lost so many of their livestock in the recent blizzard are the ones that have something to complain about. They are the ones who are tough. They bury their losses and keep on going. I admire their pioneer spirit that is still alive and well. We need more like them.
So if I see a few flakes in the air in the next few days, I will keep my whining to a minimum. I just would like to see the leaves finish turning from green to red and gold before I see the ground covered with white.
Mother Nature seems to have a mean streak.
