I'm Gonna Scream

[Laterider21958]

Until I saw what was happening in the northern hemisphere I used to think that we have it bad with our heat-waves, but I now think everything being buried in deep snow would be harder to deal with. At least we in Australia don't have to shovel the stuff off the roads and pathways. Our cars are never buried in snow, but we do have to have very efficient air-conditioning and coolant in our radiators to avoid boiling the engine.

We're in the middle of another "hot spell" and it's a very humid 39 C here at the moment. I sincerely hope the sun shines your way instead of ours for a while.

No kidding. We had 27 inches on Saturday and now have 14-16 inches on top of that already and we've just hit the heavy part of the storm. Crazy. The horses are bewildered, the cats don't know where to pee and the people are exhausted. Only the dog thinks this is an exciting development.

I feel for you easterners!

Here we are marvelling at how the dafodils are about to bloom, how the rose bushes have leaves already and how bud-filled our plum and cherry trees are - spring in February? WTF??

Our indoor cat was begging to be let out onto the front porch to snack on some grass (It's my husbands fault. He taught her this bad habit). SO, I finally opened the door and she leapt out, and when she landed she didn't know what to do! Go forward, go back, WHERE'S THE GRASS? Even after I went out to get her, she stood at the door and gave me a dirty look--"What did you do?!"

Seriously, I hope all the girls on the east coast make it through safely........
