Notes About The Poem

We have a saying here in Alberta.

If you don't like the weather, wait a minute.

Welcome To Alberta

Winter's passed the snow is gone.
The weather's mild and sunny.
I dream sweet dreams of lazy days,
And eating clover honey.

Then suddenly the wind comes up.
First rain and then wet snow.
This morning it was plus fifteen,
And now it's ten below.

Welcome To Alberta

Ain't it always the way when you are anxious for warm weather and Mother Nature seems to tease you witha bit of warm and then snaps the cold again. Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB

Yes indeed Paul. I love the change of the seasons but sometimes it gets pretty hairy. I do love Alberta though. It's living in the city I hate. Hopefully God will answer my prayers for a home in the country before I'm too old to enjoy it for long. Thanks bunches my friend. God Bless, JB

Thanks bunches Rhonda. It's great to meet you. Yes Spring is in the air but it snowed all day yesterday and day before. That was after we had had a lot of warm weather and melting snow. Spring is still right around the corner though. God Bless and thanks bunches, JB
