My thoughts released; a mind set free |
| I know, it's supposed to be out of the frying pan and into the fire; something like that, anyway. Here, just south of Canada, it's cold and will be for at least another month, maybe two. When it's above freezing, it's a fridge, and when it drops below freezing, it's a freezer, of course. Recently, we enjoyed a period of refrigerator weather, although it did drop below freezing at night; we're just going with daytime, alright? But for the next week or so, we won't see any temperatures above freezing, so now it's back into the freezer. Now, it's not the deep freeze, mind you. We had a period of that shit too. I don't mind the freezer, but I do not like the deep freeze, Sam-I-Am; let's not get me started with boats and goats or even clogs and hogs. We did get a couple of inches of snow from the six plus they forecast. If it had all come down as snow, we'd have gotten a foot or more, but a lot of the precipitation arrived as rain first, then turned to snow. So yeah, a couple of inches of snow and a nice coating of ice under it. Not that I'm bummed about it, since we just got snowshoes, I can enjoy the new snow as long as it's not too cold. And, if by chance the snow melts and it turns warmer, I can handle that, too. For the next day or two, it's going to be pretty cold, but it's supposed to be back up near the freezing point by Monday. That makes me think of a song: Come Monday, it'll be alright, come Monday I'll snowshoe till night... |
