Where is Spring?

This has been a long and cold winter, one like I have never seen in my twenty four years here in Houston. I long for the warm sunshine and the green leaves on the trees. I guess I should count myself lucky because the rest of the country has had it worse and me.

My neighbor and "friend" has sprung back. She is early and she should go back to California before she gets nipped. We are suppose to get more cold weather and maybe some snow. I haven't had to do lunch with her yet but she did bring a bunch of empty boxes to Wendy's yesterday for me to move books and so forth to other rooms so they can put down the tile. I asked her if she wanted the boxes back and she said "yes, I save them for people like you".

What kind of people was she referring to? I didn't know I was in a category of people. She commented on my hair growing out. She said when she does that it always looks awful and she has it cut back short. Was there a message for me in that statement? Hmmmmm! Well, one good thing about the upcoming cold weather, maybe if I am lucky she will go into hibernation til we warm up.

Enough said about all the cold weather. Spring will eventually come and "she" will show her shadow at my door. Maybe I will answer it....hmmmm....then maybe I won't. See ya.
