This week, winter arrived in Mahoosuc Mills, and not in a good way. The bad news is we got a major dumping of snow. The good news? You don’t have to finish raking your yard. Poor Charlie, one day he was rushing to put the garden to bed and two days later he was snow blowing. But that’s life, right? It’s darn near impossible to get it all done, and that’s okay.
Blow It Off ‘Til Spring
Got the deck chairs in
And the table put away
Never brushed the grill
But that’s OK
I’m afraid I couldn’t
Get to everything
Gonna have to just
Blow it off ‘til spring
I never quite finished
Rakin’ all them leaves
Tons of fun
And one of my pet peeves
But I know the snow
Will cover everything
No fuss, no muss
Blow if off ‘til spring
Shoulda trimmed that tree
Up a ladder I’d climb
That was the plan
But I ran outta time
Same with the deck
Gotta paint that thing
Ah, what the heck
Blow it off ‘til spring
Lawnmower’s drained
In the shed out back
Weed whacker, too
Never did use that
Ain’t no crime,
I’m wonderin’ if I’m
Forgetting anything
Blow it off ‘til spring
Good new, part two: it’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas, everywhere you go…..
That’s it for now. Catch you on the flip side!
