It’s still cold here in Michigan. March is coming in a few days. I don’t trust March. It’s like an unruly kid who does whatever it wants, whenever. There’s no pattern to March. Here, we can have any kind of weather, from the 50’s one day to an ice storm in the afternoon, to a snow storm by midnight. We can have almost every season in one day in March.
Today it’s about five degrees, but by the weekend it can be 30 degrees. It’s not March yet, but it’s slowly giving us it’s warning. None of this has absolutely nothing to do with my writing! It’s rambling today. Rambling because I’m sick of cold weather, and tired of driving on snowy, slippery roads every day. I have to leave extra early, and that cuts back on my writing/research/email/blogging time. I try to squeeze in at least 15 minutes in the morning before I go to work to do something constructive, whether it be write a quick note in my blog, or prepare plans for my creative writing class. So, when it’s bad weather, it takes that time away from me. Since I work at school my summers are free, so maybe I shouldn’t complain because I get to make it all up then. It’s just that the winter in February/March gets tiring; we’re had enough of it!
Okay, now that I’ve rambled for the morning, I’ll just remind you to scroll down and read my interview with C.J! Better yet, well, not really a ‘better yet’ but go on over to my newsletter and see the other things it has. I’m going to put out another newsletter in March, because the February newsletter was a special Valentine edition.
Well, I’m off to battle the snowy slippery roads of Michigan. Talk to you all later! Have a wonderful day, too, by the way.

My neighbor to the west is my mom. She loves snow. To the north there is nothing but pine for a couple of miles. To the south, the same thing. My nearest neighbor to the east just got out of prison again and probably wouldn’t care either way.
It’s warmer still today. I went out in shorts this afternoon and washed the mud off my tractor, charged the battery on my motorcycle and kicked the dog. (lost my flip-flop in the process).
Any snow would be appreciated.

Well, I would love to send some of this snow your way, and even though I’m tired of it, I think it looks better on a snowman, than your red clay! I would really like to see that. Really, I would send some your way if possible. Your neighbors might not like it though!

It’s 49 degrees here in Mississippi. Snow is so rare here that we have to build snowmen out of red clay. Last summer we had a pretty bad drought but the last few months have been rain, rain, rain. A couple of weeks ago I saw an “expert” from our state saying the rain we’re getting does nothing to counteract last summer’s dry spell. Why? It isn’t the “right kind of rain”. So, what’s worse that it raining so much the ground is always a mud bog? I guess it would be having some expert tell me it’s not doing a thing to help my spring garden.
I don’t know why your Winter Ramblings triggered this, but I felt a rambling comment from the other end of the spectrum was called for.
Please send us some snow!
