You Can See How Impatient I Am About Winter

Author: siggy

You can see how impatient I am about winter.  Yesterday I noted winter was three weeks in–about a quarter of the way in.  It has not been very cold.  I only remember one extremely chilly day.  I still want winter to go away.  I never started a countdown to spring so early.  Maybe, it is time to move to a warmer climate.  I don’t tolerate winter so well anymore.  It is really too early to start a countdown to spring.  I am hoping winter will just go away.  But it won’t.  And somehow I have to stop counting the days and then weeks to spring.  Spring is still too far off.  And my countdown makes it worse.  I simply do not like winter (particularly the cold) any longer.  It is time to consider a move.  Winter has become too hard to bear.

“Tilla”, One Of My Dogs Did It Again

Author: siggy

“Tilla”, one of my dogs did it again.  We were about to go to bed.  My wife took her spot on the left side.  And my eighty pound short-haired black dog jumped on the bed, took my spot on the right and curled up looking so comfortable at the head of the bed.  He would not move and I slipped in bed to the right of him almost off the bed and tried to grab what blanket I had left.  My left hand wrapped around his sleeping body as I slept on my side.  The black mid-sized dog was quite cozy.  He even sighed a few times.  Thank God it was a king sized bed!  At some point he jumped off the bed but I did not notice.  I was long asleep.
