Porcine Snow Cones
Yesterday was another blue sky, sunny day.
The snow is melting and the ground is becoming soggy.
The warmth of the sun allowed me to do afternoon chores without my jacket.
How free one feels when the heavy winter outerwear is no longer needed!
Ginger and MaryAnn came out to visit with me.
They sniffed the air.
"Spring is coming, girls, you can smell it, can't you!"
"We thought of a way to help make spring come even faster," proclaimed MaryAnn.
"We shall just eat the snow!" they both chimed in.
"Oooooh, I think your little piggy bellies might get cold. Or you might get a headache
from eating so much cold," I warned.
"That's the silliest idea," laughed Annie.
But, the pigs were not to be stopped.
Once a little piggy gets an idea in her head, she becomes a force of nature.
Both girls set about getting rid of the snow.
Just like this.....
At this rate, girls, Spring should arrive in another couple of years.
Luckily you will have lots of help from Mother Nature this week!
I received an email yesterday from a website entitled Mother Nature Network. (www.mnn.com)
