I don’t know about you but it’s during cold weather like this when I often wish that we were creatures who hibernate.  No shoveling snow, slip sliding on ice, or braving 40 mph winds to go to the store.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to crawl into a nice warm bed, pull the covers up, and sleep until spring?  Then we’d wake up slim and ready for warm weather.  

     Yes, I think about these things. 

     I think about this when I’m snuggled deep under my covers.  Warm and snug not wanting to get out of bed knowing that the wind I hear outside is as cold and fierce as it sounds.  Knowing I have to go and face the cold as soon as one of the pups wants out, I want to pull the covers over my head and doze some more.

     Isn’t it spring yet?
