Frosty Paws

One good thing about January, the January thaw.
Even though the temperatures have only been anywhere from -30- =+16, we are for a heat wave starting tomorrow. Heat wave in winter terminology means 30 plus. According to the weather man, and we all know he is always right, it is suppose to get up even into the 40’s by mid week next week. I can hear the snow melting now. The bad thing, is the rain we are suppose to get. In winter, around here, rain means skating rinks everywhere you walk. I can see our yard now. It will be one sheet of glare ice that we could probably open a skating rink on.
Now, if this was years ago, I would be elated. When I was younger, I loved to ice skate. Now, I don’t think I would want to try. Not sure my ankles could hold me up, or if my back could stand it if I fell. I think I will for go trying to be Peggy Flemming this year.
