Spring Has Not Sprung Properly

It is hard to know when spring will actually be here since it comes and goes. Winter is what we need right now. A huge dump of the white stuff that will help put out forest fires that are still burning from last year and the new fires from this year already. Or should spring suddenly show up with pouring rains then we will take it. A week or two of steady rains would be very welcome right now. The farmers require lots of rain for their crops as they can not afford two years of no crops. Even the small gardens that homeowners grow need rain to have their seeds sprout to create food for their families. That would be cheaper than buying vegetables in grocery stores.

Life has been hard enough these last two years or more. Just listen to the newscasts and one finds out exactly how easy we have it compared to other places. There are no wars taking place in the western part of the world. Yet. We have no floods or hurricanes or tornado’s or any real devastating storms wrecking havoc upon all we have.

The weather is warm for a week to ten days teasing us with a small sample of spring type existence. Then it cools off below zero Celsius for about a week or ten days approximately. This pattern keeps rolling around since it seems that is all there is for us this year. Or the ending part of last year.

You guessed right the weather is cooling off once more. Just a little bit of snow for us and lots more for the southern areas. Yes, one used to be able to know winter came at one point after the season of fall. Then for six months it is cold and miserable teaching us to appreciate spring, summer and fall even with smiles and laughter, etc.

I remember back when I was young the people in charge of weather could sprinkle the clouds with chemicals and create rain falls. In hot weather this was welcomed with such fervour and love of the wet rain drops coming down soaking us as we played out in the rain. Alas, they must have lost the recipe for making rain fall when we truly needed it. Or they did not pay the bill owed to Mother Nature. She can be a tough lady to deal with as everyone said so. I think, personally, it is time to turn Mother Nature on again with lots of loving care and huge hugs. This is one way to her heart, perhaps I am right. Whispering sweet nothings in her ears will cause her to smile and turn red in the face. Mother Nature’s eyes will sparkle and shine and smile as she feels welcome once again among us people. Mother Nature must be hoping that man kind will not lose or misplace that recipe to get her excited enough to cause rain to fall again and again and again even more so.

I think seriously that Old Man Winter should be the one to do the deeds in the paragraph above. He is the one who must be fully responsible for the sour mood of Mother Nature the last few years. Could it be that he had one to many cold ones and upset Mother Nature? Anyway, what ever the cause of her mood swings that grumpy old man has to put her back into her good moods once and for all. Or mankind will dry up and suffer a slow death of dehydration. Something tells me going out that way is no fun at all.

Maybe, Mother Nature is upset due to never having any children after all these years with Old Man Winter. She is getting worried because the seasons are out of sync with the past. Blaming Old man Winter is an easy out for her. Mother Nature also had a number of cold ones when ever it was party time. The problem is she should be doing what she is responsible for as well. Yet, something held her back these last few years. Her alarm clock has failed to ring properly at the correct times. This is Old Man Winters fault for not looking after her to carry out her duties. Yes, Mother Nature required assistance to reset her natural calendar. What was actually needed is one real cold and snowy winter to get her back into sync with the natural rhythms of her systems. And this was Old Man Winters field of expertise. He must stop using the cold ones as an excuse for failing in his winter duties.

There is a lot of time to start being himself once again. All people loved spring skiing. Going down the mountain sides at high speeds with huge smiles on their faces. This was indeed the missing ingredient in winter the last few seasons. There will be no more home made snow now that his mind is made up. Tonight and for the next few days he will let it snow heavily. Old Man Winter used to enjoy getting cars and trucks stuck in piles of snow. Being himself would be fun watching everyone looking out their windows and seeing the huge piles of snow all over. This morning it was great to see people having to clear their driveways and sidewalks. Even out in the country snow was burying all things in four feet of snow or more up on the mountains. Waking up late made Old Man Winter feel incredibly young at heart. His other hope was for Mother Nature to be happy and returning to herself. He cared deeply for his life long mate. They had lots of fun making life full of fun and games for the residents of the world. This brought them real close to each other. Spending time inside their splendid cabin caused old time habits to return. They would be wearing smiles on their faces again. Especially Mother Nature. If you get my drift? That Old Man Winter could be quite cheeky. Anyone who knew him would agree.

Time was on their side as people seemed very content with the return to normal activities. A few weeks of spring snow storms will be a welcome answer from their prayers. Everyone can keep looking out their windows as the white flakes piled up more and more.

Now, it is Mother Nature and Old Man Winters time to cuddle in front of their huge fireplace. Those fires brought smiles and extra warmth drinking hot chocolate with marshmallows. Indeed, love had came back to a couple who knew each other for a few hundred centuries perhaps.
