Rose is Rose by Don Wimmer and Pat Brady for January 22, 2021

Continuing from yesterday…

It’s pretty tough when an inch of snow is enough to run down into your galoshes.

Not complaining entirely, but we are a bit short of snow in northern Illinois this year.

We are low on snow in parts of New England as well. Not a good thing since no snow last winter, no rain over last summer. Means no hay for this YEAR. What will be available will be sparse and expensive. And quickly gone.

so sweet!

The Gumbos are wierd!

I remember a time when I took my puppy, Izaak, for a winter walk in Syracuse NY. He couldn’t walk on the road; it was too cold. He just shivered so I scooped him up and put him under my parka. He reached up, licked my face then snuggled in next to me. I cried all the way home (still shed a tear thinking about that…)

Real Bison Dads will protect his herd with those cold little feet with his strong warm body and if necessary, his life……

I would tell the story about when the virus gets under control and Pasquale is able to go back to in-person school. The Gumbos stand at the door and wave as he gets on the bus, and Jimbo shouts,

“Bye, son!”

But that would be too easy….

A little polar bear asks his dad, “Daddy, am I a REAL polar bear?”

His father replies, “Yes boy, you are a REAL polar bear.”Moments later that little polar bear walks to his mother and also asks her: “Mommy, am I a REAL polar bear?”

His mother says: “Yes dear, you are a REAL POLAR BEAR. But why do you ask that? ”

“Well” says the little polar bear. “I am so cold!”

My father was one of those people who didn’t feel Cold until an Icicle started to grow on his nose.

I can tolerate heat, but cold, nope, not at all.
