Winter Doesn’t Last Forever

Winter doesn’t last forever — it just seems that way.

Thursday’s trip to Grand Rapids involved driving on slippery roads. Not everyone was driving with enough care, and we saw evidence of that. The [Ionia] Sentinel Standard carried this story. As you can see it was not a great day. Jill, do you still want some of this snow? We have another four inches in today’s forecast.

It’s time to change the topic before it becomes “Sad Saturday” or “Morose Monday.” Think spring. Better yet, think summer with warm gentle breezes and blue cloudless skies. Don’t think about the snow clogged driveway. Think about a relaxing scene.


Summer

Verdant pasture land,
Cattle lay and graze upon,
Your grassy carpet.

  1. I’m so ready for that grassy carpet! Thanks for the hope that someday it will be warm again.

  2. I saw this on a flair button (on Facebook), and it made me think of you. 🙂

    Haikus are easy,
    But sometimes they don’t make sense.

    (It’s the best bad haiku ever!)
