this is the new spring...

...snow and ice

ice and snow...

alternating with a day of sun - a day of clouds... make a note of this new definition -

i guess maybe we're playing catch-up? is it because the foothills didn't really get that much snow - cold - overcast skies - during the "real" winter... now nature believes it needs to turn the tables - dump snow and ice upon us... okay - that's fine - but i've decided this - my tootsies have already tasted freedom - got a caress of warm temps - the loveliness of flipflops - the welcome of fresh air - after months of being cooped up...

so let me simply declare - i'm not going back - oh no - no more shoes - henceforth, no closed toes - they're staying out in the open - for all to see - no matter what - ice - snow - rain - storms - freezing temperatures - the toots are strong - they can handle it - and it will make for...

a

happy day.....
