We have just had two days of rain
nothing unusual in that just the same
then all of a sudden it started to snow
that is unusual you have to know
we don’t get enough rain in fact hardly at all
and snow is unheard of as it’s just not that cool
but we certainly got snow following the rain
enough to cover the trees and the grassy terrain
the temperature dropped and caught me off guard
as I quickly covered the pipes in my yard
to stop them from freezing and making a mess
requiring more time to repair them no less
I didn’t have time to bring in the plants
and they look very droopy as they slant
downwards bending hard with the frost
I hope that they are not all lost
and maybe recover with returning Spring
and once more share the beauty that they bring
I have to say that I dislike the snow
and the frost that accompanies this sort of show
If I never see a snowflake again
I would be a very happy old man.

I just finished shoveling and it is still snowing! Rats!
Just be careful. A lot of people have heart attacks whilst doing this job…
I exercise every day on a Schwinn Airdyne indoor bicycle… so shoveling is nothing to me. We are very cold and will be having -13 degree F temps for two nights in a row… and continued cold after that. Global warming causes unusually cold weather in central states and other states and many people do not realize that, unfortunately.
I’m glad I moved south when I did. At least I don’t have to shovel snow. You take care…
Good Luck with your snow! Here I am happy since we are not having any snow at my end. Well well, Happy New Year 2018 to you. Big kiss kiss from me and my girl and everyone in London!
