Open Letter

Dear Mr. Winter,

This week is Spring break for my children. We had plans to go out and do fun things. Outside. But you have come along and rained on my parade. Literally. Now you have planned to come and spoil another day with your weeping skies and moisture. It's too cold to be outside and now the drive up the canyon is going to be difficult at best. On March 20th the calendar said it was Spring. I've given you some leeway and some time to clear up. I even gave ample time for your remnants to melt away.

I want to spend time outdoors with my children. I want to walk around the mountains, visit the zoo without freezing. I want to go shopping (not that you will interfere with that) and I want to look for Spring clothes. Do you know how cold weather can put a damper on the shopping of warm clothes? When it's cold outside you want to buy warm clothes. We don't need more warm clothes- we need new Spring clothes that will brighten our days. It would just be really nice if you could go ahead and give it a rest now. You've overstayed your welcome.

Sincerely,
Mrs Monkey Butt
