Yep, that's it. Summer's over.
How do I know? Because they came out to blow out the underground sprinkling lines today. I always held on to the feeling of summer as long as I thought stuff was still growing.
Those of you who can't imagine the long snows of winter because the one week a year it snows by you (you can't drive), just know that the spring days here are all the more glorious for it. I find that places that don't have winter never really get renewed in the way we're used to.
Well, we also don't freeze to death, have our pipe burst or get mauled by polar bears. It's that simple.
ReplyDeleteNow, I realize you prefer "The Igloo Life" to warm days in the sun. But just remember:
Grand Rapids has no bikini contests.
Time to stack the firewood, get the dogsled ready for the 3 dog nights to come, oh and i forgot to mention locking up the outhouse so the bears don't use them for dens.
