No winter lasts forever; no spring skips its turn<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Hal Borland<\/strong><\/p>\n

A winters day. Cats needed feeding and water, kindling rendered, boards cut.<\/p>\n

A snowstorm was coming, the weather forecasters down grading the amounts, yet just over the polictical border a heavy snowfall warning is in effect.<\/p>\n

My question is really simple, how does the snowstorm know where the border is? You know the answer.<\/p>\n

My kettle is on the woodstove, so are my gloves. They fell on the floor or were purposely knocked on the ground by the furry demons that occupy the fireroom.<\/p>\n

Yes, they peed on them. One of them tried to pee on my snowboots yesterday. While I was still in them.<\/p>\n

Why do they do it? Because they can. Had I noticed a little sooner that cat would have meowed as a soprano for the day.<\/p>\n

Another 8 feet of board was cut, it is a lot warmer today. Monday to Friday next week not so much. We will see -30 at night again.<\/p>\n

Ya, I needed to bring in a lot more boards. Today no. Today I will change the oil in the gen.<\/p>\n

Made a coffee and watched in horror as it tipped over in slow motion,\u00a0 and distributed hot coffee, grounds, filter and cup to the floor.<\/p>\n

So what do you do? Pour another.<\/p>\n

Getting close to noon, gen still not done. I am still drinking coffee. Even though it’s cold now.<\/p>\n

Breakfast done heading out soon.<\/p>\n
