sometimes I pretend that I've frolicked with grizzly bears for no good reason because obviously it wasn't worth the imaginary effort I put in
The robins were ushered home on a warm nothernly breeze. "Spring is coming!" they chirped gaily from the bare branches in the yard.
Throwing on a flowered parka, I lept from the house in a flutter of excitement.
I danced in the streets and I frolicked through meadows, singing, "Tra la laaaaaa," catching the sweet, red-chested birds on my outstretched fingertips. Our melody was harmonious to even the harshest of creatures, and soon our exuberant dance was joined by floppy eared bunnies and grizzly bears just awakened from hibernation. The foxes were doing the tango and the walruses tap-dancing. All of us giving glorious thanks to Mother Nature for the introduction of warmer weather.
But in our excitement we had forgotten an important detail.
We had forgotten that Mother Nature has stopped taking her pills.
And Mother Nature, is quite obviously off her rocker. Out of her head. Completely MAD.
Yesterday morning we frolicked.
At noon it snowed, but with the sun still rejoicing and the air still warm.
Early evening brought a torrential hail storm that covered the Earth in a coat of white in under 3.27 minutes.
This morning we woke up to ice and snow.
The Robins are a little miffed they came without thinking to bring a big bottle of Prozac for Mother Nature (and possibly some Midol).
And our weather here is considered mellow. Honestly, Mother Nature, PULL YOURSELF TOGETHER.
Also, I do NOT own a flowered parka. (I can't believe you thought that was true. It's like you don't know me at all.)

I don't know you, but you sound so much like me that I love you already. I stumbled onto your blog when I was trying to figure out who one of the followers of my blog is. First of all, thanks for the laughs, and secondly, I really like your page! Did you do all of this yourself? Can you fly out here and do mine? I'm a writer/author-in-waiting, and my literary agency had me start a blog. I did. People like it, but it's very no frills. Suggestions? I'd love for you to check it out; you should read the post in Jan. about No Monthly Contracts. . .it suggests some of my faves. My site is http://heatherhudsonsays.blogspot.com
(snort) I can't even write that without laughing.
NEVER go off the meds, Mother!!!!
and a close call on the flowered parka - I was going to have to arrange a fashion intervention.
