Ode To Maine

ODE TO MAINE

 Last winter was a long one
 Before starting to get better
 Seemed like we would never shed
 Our heavy coats and sweater
 But at last, spring did arrive
 But the cold winds did not go
 Instead of getting warmer
 We just got more snow
 We suffered through a chilly spring
 Waiting for the trees to bud
 And finally the snow was gone
 But in its place was mud
 Now at last, it seems to me
 That winter has moved on
 Now I can enjoy myself 
After I mow the lawn

That's all too true my friend. Ilove Maine. I love the beauty of Nature. We've had a cold and blowy Spring here in Alberta too. Lots of rain. Now it's finally starting to warm up a bit but still lots of wind. Good stuff here. God Bless, JB

What a load of truth - that is why I retired in the south. Mike
