Always Greener

Preconceptions splinter when we question what we know but an upstate New York winter without an inch of snow? The earth is ever changing as I'm sure we soon shall see while we go on rearranging our environment to be it's a tenuous arrangement that's allowed our lot to thrive an ego fueled estrangement our indifference won't survive. I stated this a week ago (just had to open my mouth) now there's so much freakin' snow I wish I could move south.

LOL

We had to shovel out 3 times now (so far) but, I am not taking anything for granted. Last Jan/Feb were two of the hardest months we'd had in ages. So, still plenty of time yet to curse too much snow. Nice, fun read from you :)

I was just thinking a few weeks ago how it didn't feel like winter yet (I live in Ontario, and we just finally got snow this past week). This poem definitely reflects similar thoughts I had! Great work!
