Betrayed

I didn’t believe the weather people when they said it would snow 3 to 6 inches last night. It didn’t seem possible; robins were pulling worms from the ground, doves pairing up, maples blooming, and the world generally felt as though it was marching toward spring. Wrong. We have been left with at least 6 inches of snow; heavy and wet, pulling every tree limb toward the ground. Under the snow branches are covered with the ice that formed before the snow started. On the whole, it is disappointing and depressing, and I am boycotting outside until it can once again be reasoned with. Which doesn’t look as if it will happen anytime soon.
