i’d planned to head up north to visit family this week
but I took a look at the weather
decided I’ll wait a week or so
some parts of the north were hit with a 100 year storm
especially in the upper peninsula
where the yoopers are a hardy lot.

In A Midsummer Night’s Dream, unseasonable weather is the result of a conflict between Titania and Oberon, queen and king of the fairies.
The seasons alter: hoary-headed frosts
Fall in the fresh lap of the crimson rose,
And on old Hiems’ thin and icy crown
An odorous chaplet of sweet summer buds
Is, as in mockery, set. The spring, the summer,
The childing autumn, angry winter, change
Their wonted liveries, and the mazèd world
By their increase now knows not which is which.
– William Shakespeare – A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Um, when the snowdrifts are so big you can touch the roof, that’s a lot of snow! You make me feel bad for whining about snow and having a tough winter. Wow! Looks almost AI like. Crazy Beth! Have fun. And just remember … spring isn’t too far away! 🤣🤣❄️❄️❄️😎

Wow, sounds like a wild storm! I’m all for visiting family, but I’d rather not get buried in snow. Yoopers are tough, but I’m more of a hot cocoa and blanket kinda person! Hi, I am Emily Williams from galaxyonknowledge.blogspot.com

That is a whole lot of snow. Reminds me of winters on the farm on the southwestern Minnesota prairie when snow and snowbanks piled high, when the snow hardened like rocks and we played Canadian Mounties, driving our “dogsleds” across the “mountains.”
