An Observation

… and on the 16th day of April, 2021, it is 34 degrees and snowing.

Two Sentences

TV weatherman says more snow on the horizon. Its winter, so it comes with the territory.

“In the bleak midwinter Frosty wind made moan, Earth stood hard as iron, Water like a stone; Snow had fallen, Snow on snow, Snow on snow, In the bleak midwinter, Long ago.” ~ Christina Rossetti, Poet 1830-1894

More Snow

Sunday, we got quite a bit of snow. Tuesday, more snow is on the way. Possible 3-5 inches is on tap. Hopefully, I’ll get a walk or two in, as I do like walking in it, as long as it is not windy and blowing in my face. That makes it a miserable time… wellContinue reading “More Snow”

That Was Real

Took a walk in earlier in the day. It was quite a slog navigating the snow covered sidewalks, hoping I wouldn’t come across any unexpected ice. Lady luck was with me, as I didn’t have any problems. The walking did wear me out a bit, as when I got back home, I was dragging myContinue reading “That Was Real”

Spring Time Snow

Took a walk in the heavy, wet snow. Of course I got kind of wet, I mean really wet, and I seen two other people outside, doing the same thing. It was enjoyable walk, and it helps keep the sugar in check, and also helps with keeping the mind focused. In these dire times, IContinue reading “Spring Time Snow”

Short Story

She knew the weather is bad, but she was determined to venture out to the bodega, to get milk, as she had none left. Bundled up, she encountered white out conditions, and soon enough, she got disoriented, and didn’t know where she was. The next morning her son woke up, and his mother was notContinue reading “Short Story”

Winter Quote ~ Ogden Nash

Winter is the king of showmen, Turning tree stumps into snowmen And houses into birthday cakes And spreading sugar over lakes. Smooth and clean and frosty white, The world looks good enough to bite. That’s the season to be young, Catching snowflakes on your tongue. Snow is snowy when it’s snowing, I’m sorry it’s slushyContinue reading “Winter Quote ~ Ogden Nash”

Spring Redux

Weather people now say that snow storm won’t be as bad as they thought it would. Now they say maybe an inch or two of the white stuff on my part of the commonwealth.

Snow No Snow

Last year nearing the end of February, we had 100 plus inches of snow. In some places there were snow piles higher than a two story building. At this very moment, there is no snow to be found. An El Nino weather pattern will do that in the northeastern part of the US. Maybe nextContinue reading “Snow No Snow”

It Is April, Right?

The calendar says it is April 8 Well, it’s 36 degrees and it’s snowing. Come Friday the expected high is supposed to be 65. Just more wacky/weird New England weather to deal with.

Springtime In New England

We all could use a little humor, especially with all the snow that was dumped on us.

Dirty Snow

March 20 is to be the first day of Spring, but here in the Boston area, and doesn’t have the feel of a new season set to begin, as it has and still is windy as all hell, with wind chill factors at times in the teens. Also, there is snow to arrive on Friday,Continue reading “Dirty Snow”

It Doesn’t Make Any Sense

For the past couple of nights, I have seen ads of all things: lawn care. It seems odd to show green grass, flowers, etc., when there is so much damn snow on the ground, and it looks like it will be here for quite awhile. By the way, we’re expecting another inch to three inchesContinue reading “It Doesn’t Make Any Sense”

I Read On …..

I read on boston.com the snow that is still on the ground with the exception of the real tall mounds of it, should be melted and gone between March 25 and April 3. Then dear Agnes, it will all be just a memory.

Just A Thought

With all the snow in the past three weeks, which was a good amount, there is one way and the best way of looking at it, Laugh! No sense in getting all bent out of shape, as it won’t do you any good. Besides, its Winter! Enjoy it, maybe next Winter will be one ofContinue reading “Just A Thought”

Just Asking

Was today’s snow storm just a dream or a dreaded nightmare?

January

January can be: cold, frigid, blustery, snowy. January can be: sunny, windy, blustery, calm. January can be: time to bundle up, dress in layers. January can be: a cruel month, with short days and longer nights. January can be: some of the above, or all of the above. A Pondering Mind

Side Walk Covered With Snow

The side walk is covered with a layer of snow. This was taken this morning (2/19/14). We got more snow in the afternoon, before it changed to a light mist of rain.

Tire Track

While I was standing outside, during the middle of the afternoon, I took my phone out and was going to a photo of the snow covering the yews. When I looked to see how that pic came out, I saw this photo of the tire track and the curb to the left of it. TheContinue reading “Tire Track”

Mother Nature

It seems that mother nature has a problem. The problem is, she must have a very itchy scalp. With all the dandruff falling from the sky above, it looks like she needs a good shampooing, with a good rinsing. Then a apply some conditioning, then rinse and repeat. Now, all this dandruff is landing onContinue reading “Mother Nature”

The Lights Are On

This is a photo I snapped this past Thursday, but I was too damn lazy to post it. This was taken shortly after sunset, which is 4:13 pm. With that said, there lies the reason of the lights turning on so early.

Snow Covered Park

On my daily walk this morning, I decided to cut through the local park, as the walking was kind of on the treacherous side. Lots of icy spots. I only took this one photo, and it does have a Zen look to it.
