Only the nastiest of the nasty could bring you to this expression of utter disappointment. And now I am madder than hell to think the brute even pressed you, with your consistent wondrous good nature, into a snarky mood.Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-69253861340304274752011-03-27T08:24:22.583-06:002011-03-27T08:24:22.583-06:00Well Roberta, I can certainly understand your sent...Well Roberta, I can certainly understand your sentiments. I can't say that Winter and I are brutal enemies; but we're certainly 'on the outs.' He's shown himself to be quite stubborn, relentless, and uncompassionate during his time; and how can he expect any of us to befriend him and welcome him with open arms when he decides to visit? This past visit...and many of us are not sure he's actually left...was quite disruptive and unforgiving. He was very abusive as friends go. I think he thoughtlessly hurt many a feeling and burned many a bridge with his enormous ego. I for one am NOT on speaking terms with him. He's got some serious making-up to do. ~JoyJoy Des Jardinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04893445642606862131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-64100129707779170602011-03-27T01:15:24.576-06:002011-03-27T01:15:24.576-06:00Hi Pauline.

He's back at it again, buffeting the house and deck with more wind, more snow, more ice...like you say, wanting so desperately to again wrap me in 'his ermine-clad arms'.

But has Winter fallen out of love with you? Seems like he's still trying to wrap his ermine-clad arms around you. You might want to part friends, though, as I'm quite sure he's planning a new assault on your psyche come next December... some guys just don't know when to give up!Paulinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14555472024981357622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-30578142843811323642011-03-25T02:27:13.969-06:002011-03-25T02:27:13.969-06:00joared, your suggestion is well taken, but not so ...joared, your suggestion is well taken, but not so easy to do. I will have to think long and hard on that one. May have a change of heart when my toes and fingertips thaw. Seems like winter and I have had our differences before and if I remember correctly, the relationship is pretty lopsided. Seems I'm always the one that is so forgiving. :)Roberta Shttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01032348890093502999noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2729729299765225091.post-69836288097327257172011-03-25T01:06:49.272-06:002011-03-25T01:06:49.272-06:00Oh, you're as cold, harsh and frigid as winter...Oh, you're as cold, harsh and frigid as winter.
