Forsooth, Still Winter!

Impatience surrounds us. For example, waiting for an elevator. There is always that person who, no matter if the button is lit up, will hit it again. Sometimes there are those who stare at the lit button and repeatedly hit it anyway as if to will the elevator there more quickly.  The saying “A watched pot never boils” comes to mind with elevators and the weather.

It seems that Mother Nature is playing games with the weather again. I thought I had waited patiently for the daffodils to appear, and when they finally did, we had snow which blanketed the earth. Rumors had it that more snow was on the way. Indeed, this morning I photographed the daffodils weighted down with snow and almost touching the ground. Weather jokes in our area abound and describe our weather seasons as: waiting for winter, winter, still winter and summer.

Our Seasons

Impatiently awaiting
yellow daffodils, I
finally found a few to
brighten my day.

Before snow returned
today and weighted the
blossoms of the flowers
causing them to lean.

The robins are here
so why not rain showers?
Our seasons seem to be:
waiting for winter, winter

still winter and summer.
A watched pot does
not boil. So I practice
patience while waiting.

Off and begone, cruel winter!
