Today’s date is Sunday December 13th 2015.
I live in Eastern Canada.
It is currently raining.
This is unprecedented!!
On December 13th 2014 – we had a significant snow fall warning??
But now – the grass is “greenish” – the ground is mush – the squirrels are so fat they can barely walk!
I was literally hauling hay in a tee shirt today – it was a balmy – it’s above zero and this past week we have had record breaking temps!!
This brings me to my next dilemma.
I am so not in the Christmas Spirit this year. With the warmer temps – no snow on the ground and the plague rolling around our house – I have not even started shopping and usually I am done weeks ago.
So – we all made a pact today. Simple, simple, simple gifts. Hubs and I agreed to not buy each other anything and considering we just dropped 600 bones on hay – Santa’s sack is a little empty.
But really – it is not about who got what and who spent this and who bought this or that or the other thing.
It’s about family and loved ones and food and fun.
For instance – Hubs is sick – sicker than I have seen him in a long time. I had to get hay. Now you all know me well enough to know that I will NOT shall NOT and NEVER WILL pull a trailer – EVER!!!
So a last minute call to my Bro in a tizzy had him over here post haste to help me retrieve my trailer of hay.
Now the hay – while important – was not the best part of that haul – it was chilling with my bro and talking about this and than and the other thing – see – that is what I am eluding to.
Connecting – hanging out – having a laugh – reminiscencing about this, that and the other thing.
All this warm and fuzzy sentiment does not negate the fact that is it still December 11th and I’m sorry to all the naysayers – I really need some snow and some cold temps please.
Just for a bit if you don’t mind horribly? I’d be ever so grateful.
Thank you!
