Last week I was driving to IKEA with the sunroof open on a sunny 72 degree day. Today it is snowing and blowing so hard You can barely see across the parking lot. This is all my fault, I am certain of it. Let me explain why. Yesterday was nice. It was about 50 degrees, sunny and things were looking up. So I decided to do the following things which, I am certain, attributed to the weather we are having today. (You see, if you don’t time things exactly right, and do certain things too early, you may set off a chain reaction of crazy weather and inadvertently effect many people around you!)
1. Cleaned out the sheds – Cleaning sheds is a sure sign of spring.
2. Ordering a new Lawn Mower – oh yeah, this is a big one. Never even think about lawn mowers before May 1. (Although my neighbor was mowing his grass yesterday and he might have attributed to it as well.)
3. Raking. Raking of any sort is prohibited before May 1.
4. Getting the grill out – can you say “What were you thinking?”
5. Getting the hoses out – Even worse!
6. Putting the snow shovel and salt away – yeah another dangerous one.
7. WASHING THE TRUCK. This has to top the list, because never fail, when you wash a vehicle, you will surely change the weather.
Thus… today my car looks like this! Arg! Thankfully, I did not wash it yet.
thanks josh.
Hi Josh, yes it is headed our way. I took a walk after work. The park was full of people, 2 baseball practices going on, basketball, kids on swings, throwing frisbees, Jumpin Jacks is open for the season. yes, I did rake too and tomorrow I will be shoveling and cleaning my car. Such is our optimism heh??
Well I feel better. All this time I thought it was my fault for wishing it would more snow this Spring.
Well, come tonight, we will be getting about a footof snow out here in Denver….freaking global warming my ass.
Our grill is never to far into storage. Mid-January you’ll see my arms poke out the back door to flip the burgers and then sneak back inside to my Cafe Verona. I hope I didn’t add to April
