Yes, it snowed last night.  Nothing stuck, flurries only.  But it was a taste of what’s about to hit the area for real.

So today becomes the day to remove all the crud from the yard.  All the leftover shingle and tarpaper bits, the wrappers the wind blew in and the lawn furniture.  It’s time to mulch up the remaining leaves with the lawnmower and spread them over the flower beds in anticiption of spring.

Then, and only then, it is time to grab my blankie, suck my thumb, and sob in a corner of the bedroom with the lights out knowing that spring is 5 months away.  If we’re lucky.
