Is that rain or is it snow?
The weather out there doesn’t know.
But it’s coming quickly through the air,
so I won’t be going anywhere.

We have snow tonight!
I hope you don’t have to drive in it.
(It’s actually bare here; I wrote this poem a couple of days ago. ๐ )
I dont, but the rest of the family are off to work in the morning. The main roads are usually well gritted tho.
I like the term ‘well gritted.’ Here, we say they are ‘well sanded.’
There is no snow….still i can feel chills
Through my spines…its very cold
And everything goes by
And we dont feel like going any where in these winters..
Nice one!!!
I’m very curious to know about this phenomenon of multiple spines!
๐ Thanks for stopping by.
Haha…lol..ya seriously it was great visiting your blog….
Thanks for stopping by!
Well now, you keep the rain and let us have our snow…it is too darn dark here!!
Snow, rain, it has no idea what to settle on lately!
Darn climate change. (Can I blame the tar sands?)
Sure why not! it is pretty…just a nice light coat of white would have been nice.
I confess, I like the thick mounds on all the trees… ๐
Yeah!! they are so cool on the trees…just not on the roads ๐
Precisely.
As long as the snow is not mixed with tar, you’re good.
Whhaaaattttt?
Thinking literally- that’d be steaming, watery tar.
Thinking metaphorically- do you mean to stay off the roads?
Hmm.
Done my slippin and sliding today.
the snow that came, can now go away.
It made me look a fool you see,
I put on a show entirely free.

Oh dear!
It’s snowing heavily at the moment, and hubby is out shoveling the driveway. It is quite steep, and I tend to wipe out at least once a winter. I would love to put steps in, to make it safer, but someone thinks safety is too expensive. *He* has not fallen yet, obviously. As soon as he does, those stairs will get built…
I know how those days go.
