I believe snow should fall only on non-manmade places. Only on December 24th, melt by December 30th, and we should have crocus and daffodils by Valentine's Day.
I don't hate winter, I just like the other seasons much better
And do I love spring! The sweet fresh smell of the earth again!
Gwyn, DH and I are dairy farmers, which means we go out and work in the stuff everyday. If it's snowed, you have to shovel before you get into the barn; to carry grain and water to my calves I have to trudge through the stuff. And if it's a day the milk truck comes, then the lane has to be cleared b4 he comes, which is a couple of hours b4 milking is started. Then add the cold wind blowing through your clothes (multiple layers, I might add) while you are carrying said water and grain. And when you get back to the warm, moist milkroom, your glasses fog up and you can't see.
Thanks for letting me vent!! And do I love spring! The sweet fresh smell of the earth again!
