The miracle is—I still have wood in my woodpile. The disgusting part is that I still need to burn it.

We have come to that time of year. I’m going crazy.

There is still a pile of snow on my deck. There is still a thick layer of snow in my front yard, my side yard, and my back yard. And the thing that really rubs is that the yards across the street are BARE. The women across the street have been outside doing YARD WORK. Not that I’m a huge fan of yard work, but at least they don’t have to put their hip boots on to walk across their yards. They even have the occasional green blade of grass to gaze upon. I’ve got...snow.

I want to open my door and smell spring in the air. I don’t want to open the door and get socked with cold air. I want to stop dressing in layers. I want to retire the long underwear and the scarves and gloves.

Getting darned close to certifiably crazy here. I am so not kidding.
