Stolen Winter, Robbed Blind and No One's Noticed
We are all victims of a massive theft!
What are we to do? Who do we call? The mayor, the police? Nope, not even the feds can help us with this highway robbery.
My kid, your kid, everyone of them pilfered in broad daylight of the opportunity
to build snowmen, toboggan a hill, angel-ize a space in the snow, and gosh
forbid—help shovel a driveway.
Artist and poets alike laud the Midwest for its perfect four seasons. Birth, dying,
re-birth and the whole bit. Heck, not this year; I think my lawn is still
green.
How depressing.
I need an injection of wintry Art Hill, maybe even Suicide Hill if I'm feeling
brave.

I agree Michael, the winter of 2011-2012 will be forgettable. Our children were robbed of a story, a memory. The ones you and I relate to our children. "This one one time my brother/sister/best friend and I rode down this monster hill, skated on a frozen pond, made a fort out of a snow drift!" Yes Michael I agree, we snow lovers were robbed!

Ray, You are spot on. I am mad at myself for not trying to make a sledding event out of the dusting we did have a week or so ago.

Something tells me there will be another chance for you -- and all of us -- to enjoy the snow again before spring actually rolls around.

Really hope that you are right.
