NOT WHAT I ORDERED

THIS DOES NOT LOOK LIKE SPRING TO ME!


 Yet this was the scene that greeted me when I woke this morning.
Wrong in so many ways.

"If you know all 4 seasons: 
almost winter, winter, still winter, and road construction, 
you live in Oregon ."
 ~ Jeff Foxworthy

This poor little plum tree used to be erect...
and those pink-ish things were blossoms.


I am having a lot of trouble with this being "spring".
I know its from growing up in Cali.

Roxy is a Cali girl too...
and this is as close as she would get to the snow in her yard.
 
(Good thing she has this little strip under the over-hang 
for her business needs.)


I get a text from Bear...
"75 degrees!  Going to hit the beach!"
She's in San Diego.
I am envious.


The man and I are sitting and watching the news.
He gets a phone call telling him that 
he shouldn't come in to work tonight...
his job is having a snow day.
 
 
I suppose I should look at the silver lining...
the man and I got an unexpected day together.
We ran around town looking for
Babylon 5.
The series and the movie collection...
all together or one by one.
We found zip.
 
 
Then we made a bet.
I lost!
Now I have to make him a fancy diner from scratch.
He says
"How about clam chowder."
Since when has calm chowder been fancy?
Grumble.
 
 
Come to think of it...
if we could run around town all day in this...
why can't they go to work in it?
Unless the unthinkable is coming...
more snow or a freeze to turn things to ice.
 
 
I probably just jinxed it didn't I?
Oh crap.
