A Letter

Dear Mother Nature,

We need to talk.

Listen, I have always been a fan of yours.
I appreciate the good things that you do and how you walk us through the some beautiful seasons.

I appreciate the gorgeous days you give us here and there.

But, sister . . .
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

I know that sometimes you have a bad day everyonce in a while. Sometimes you get a little angry and send us some doozies. I get all that.

I don't mean to come down hard on you . . .
but this winter thing has GOT to stop.

Yes, I KNOW that I live in Chicago. I KNOW that the winters are hard.

But girlfriend,
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

Now, maybe you and that little ol'groundhog had a deal - that's all find and good.

But you let me know where he is, and I'll go bring him some good ol'groundhog grub (I have no idea what that might be, but I'll research it and I'll find it) and I'll convince him that
ENOUGH is ENOUGH!

You see . . . I am tired of these darn winter colds that my family and I keep passing back and forth. I am tired of never being able to get that chill out of my bones. I am tired of looking out my front door and still seeing my Christmas lights on the house (AUGH! Yes, I know they should be down - but that's life in our chaotic house this winter.)

Oh, dear Mother Nature, won't you help?

I am really in need of something warm . . . oh, like . . . THE SUN!

I am really in need of a little Fun in the Sun . . . like this

I am in need of tan lines, and weekends in the backyard. I need BBQ's and fresh fruit in a great big bowl. I need the garden to be growing, and children running around splashing water and blowing bubbles. I need to smell fresh cut lawn (even though it makes me sneeze) and see flowers blooming. I need these winter blues to GO AWAY.

Because ENOUGH is ENOUGH.

Mother Nature, I appreciate you. I really do. But I need your help right now.
So, what do you think?

With Much Love and Thanks,
Leanne
