Well we've leaned against the door holding it tightly closed so he can't get in. We've reluctantly gotten out the hat, gloves, heavier coats and rolled our eyes avoiding taking out the rubber boots. We've moved the lawn mower to the back of the garage and moved the snow blower up to the front close to the doors, tested out the shovels, gotten out every day the sun even poked its head out from behind the clouds. We've checked off Labor day, President's day, Halloween, Veterans day, my birthday, John's birthday and Thanksgiving and we've whisked away the mentionof it with the stroke of a hand saying the dreadful "stuff" was just up in the mountains.....but we just can't hold off any longer.....tomorrow old man winter is going to push his way on down taking in a deep deep breath and blowing out some frigid wind and with the stroke of his hand, in a few days he's going to shake his powder sugar shaker and cover us with the most gorgeous white soft blanket you can imagine.....Old man winter is here and will be staying. So we best make a big pot of haddock chowder, some warm hot chocolate....stoke the fire in the fire place, get out our Uggs, invite him in and enjoy his company for a while.
What the heck....The weather outside will be frightful....but the fire will be so delightful....and since we've no place to go....let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!
Finally!
