Gone in 60 Degrees

Here in New York if you don't like the weather just wait a few hours and it will change. Last weekend turned bitterly cold and over 16 inches of snow fell on our heads. 

Opening the outside door surely was a chore, but we finally got out to shovel, shovel, shovel. By the time we got dug out it looked like a winter wonder land.

 Driving around and enjoying the beauty of the snow, we thought for sure this year we would have a white Christmas. But like I said before, In New York you just never know.

A few days later the weather man said it was going to warm up. Well it hit 60 Degree's  for the past three days. The snow is gone and it sure looks feels like spring time. So I guess that white Christmas is just another dream.......

  Merry Christmas to one and all
                             

Sledding memories of the past

Sledding used to be so much fun

Neighbors and friends would join in the fun

We never got cold playing in the snow

But we surely did catch a cold

Sledding started way back when

Even adults would join in the fun

They would try to find the biggest hill

To give the women a great big thrill

A little snow is all you need

To go down hill with lightning speed
Happy faces, full of glee
Loads of fun, as you can see

Big brothers always the leader
Taking little brothers for a spin
Sledding down the hill
What a big thrill

Big brother sledding down the hill
Sometimes takes a spill
Falling in the snow is fun
Come on, take one more run

No more sledding for me
Others things on my mind
A war is raging in another land
I think it's time to take my stand

Now the sleds stand all alone
Oh the stories they could tell
Of a childhood past and all the fun
Tossed away like a piece of gum
