groundhog - shmoundhog

Do you ever write letters in your head? I often do this while driving: Attention blue Civic, your car came equipped with a turn signal – just wanted to let ya know! Today, I wrote four imaginary letters.

#1

Dear Punxsutawney Phil,

I do not believe in you. I know you think we have 6 more weeks of winter ahead, but you are a groundhog. What do you know?

#2
Dear cold/flu/sickness of doom,

Who let you into my house? My nose was perfectly happy not dripping. You are an unwelcome intruder and should vacate the premises immediately.

#3
Dear snow,

I’m breaking up with you. We’ve had a good run, but my poor wimpy arms are still sore from shoveling you. Really, you are just too controlling. I do thank you for the three days off from work, but I’m still leaving you.

#4

Dear spring,

I love you! As you know, I’ve broken up with that loser snow guy. I am anxiously awaiting your arrival – I’ve even picked out a cute outfit for our first date!

Did you write any imaginary letters today?

Snow Days

Tomorrow will be our third day in a row off from work due to snow. The Richmond area panics over an inch or two, so the 8-10 we have on the ground at the moment have shut down most all of the schools. I took a few pictures yesterday before we mucked the yard up with sleds and such.

I think my potted ivy is done for!

The trees are gorgeous!

Off to the right we have a huge hill we use for sledding. We packed a few good runs today, and tomorrow they should be nice and icy for sledding! I was so ready for spring, but these few extra days of winter have been nice. Still, I’m looking forward to the upper 60’s forecast for this weekend.
