Dog days of winter

Winter goes on forever here. Summer is like a flash in the pan. Open the windows, air out the house, and it's winter again. Sigh. I can't walk the dogs in the cold and they are no longer displaying their inside behavior. They are getting into rough-housing in the living room. They play tag with company in the kitchen. The cat won't let me take the Christmas tree down yet because it's warm to sleep under it. (Sorry, Wiz, it's coming down tomorrow!)

I am no better. I want out of here. I feel a need for warm air and some sunlight on my face. My daughter is in a resort in Mexico near Cancun. Hopefully they will be able to get to Xcarat, a great park near there, I think in Calico, where she and I went several years ago.

Me? My favorite whine is, "I want to go to Flooorrrida." I am going away again finally in two weeks. To Toronto. Sigh. At least I decided to fly and leave the driving to them - no bridges in January for me, at least.

I hate the short, dark days. Our winters are so mild compared to yours. I think what I dislike the most is wearing a coat.

Hi,

Winter seems to take forever to go on.  Then yes, summer is here and gone before we know it.  I hope you are able to make it to Mexico or Florida where it is warmer.  I am glad you don't have to drive to Canada.

Hugs,
Anita
