It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Spring

The weather around these parts today is gorgeous.  Sunny, 75 degrees, breezy and just plain beautiful.  I've spent the better part of the morning with the windows wide open getting a head start on my spring cleaning, which is a little odd because, well, it's February.

In fact, I can picture it now and I think the conversation between the powers that be has gone a little something like this over the past few months.

Dear Mother Nature,   

                                                          

With just a week left until Christmas, I've noticed

that it has been unseasonably warm this year.  I thought

we talked about this.  I have one night a year, I don't think a

little snow is too much to ask.

Sincerely,

Santa

Mother Nature,

Alright, well I guess it goes without saying how last night

went.  Hopefully next year we can come to a mutual understanding

of what Christmas should look like.

Santa,

Sorry big guy.  I guess I just got a little tired of doing the

same old thing year after year.  I know it's unconventional

but just try to enjoy it.  Take the Mrs. on a cruise!

Dear Mother Nature,

It has come to my attention that you have decided to "change things up"
this year.  Your advice sent Santa and the Mrs. on a cruise to the
Caribbean which, in turn, put them behind schedule for next
Christmas.  The elves and the reindeer are really confused and the
Easter Bunny is worried that at this rate tornadoes will interfere
with the festivities he has planned.  My phone is ringing off the hook
with concerned citizens making sure I did not, in fact, speed up the clock.
I realize that what's done is done but I would appreciate it if we could
just put all of this behind us and return to our normal yearly patterns.

Thank you for your cooperation,
Father Time
