Is it gone yet? Gone for good? With bright sunshine all afternoon & the temperature going above freezing -- It must know by now it's no longer welcome -- The yard is bare, the garden is squished, the driveway's full of puddles. Hear that? " Cheer-up, Cheer up?" Robins. They don't sing that song when everything covered in snow.

Oh, O.K. Yeah, I see it too, that giant pile of white slush at the end of the driveway. Looks like it had some ambitions of growing into a glacier. Well, if it rains tonight, it should at least shrink down, even if it doesn't go away altogether.

Yeah, go away. Get lost & don't come back. No one's been dreaming of a white Christmas for the last 5 months. And no, we didn't appreciate the White Easter. Completely ruined the kid's Easter egg hunt. Yes, the kids enjoyed all the snow days, tho they have to make up half of them in June. And those people who say Global Warming's a big fat lie -- they were glad to see you all right. Except now they're getting tired., too.
That penguin waddle from the garage to the front door. . The ever-increasing monthly heating bill... Won't be missed.

Don't expect any tears when we say" So Long Winter". And about next year? You can skip it if you like. Give those Global Warming folks a chance to say "I told you so."
