I'd like to report that today dawned bright and sunny, clear and warm...


But it didn't.

I'd like to report that today I awoke ready to ride hither and yon…



But I didn't.

I'd like to report that it was a typical Maine Winter Day….



And, it was.  Well, almost.


There was just a wee bit more snow than usual…



I said a wee bit more…





I'd like to report that I am going riding today….


But it wouldn't work…



And, so…


Tornero al cuoco a casa e mangiare.

  1. Mike,

    Six miles away from your house, I awoke to clear skies, bare ground, and temps in the low 60s. What storm? What snow? It is almost Spring Training, so it must be spring - anything else is a mirage!

    1. You know the old song, "What a difference a day makes"? Well, it seems to work for distances too, because when I finally was able to fight my way to the corner, --- there was no snow.
      So, you're correct Tom. It's Spring, or almost. I think I need to stop those dinner martinis.

  2. I maintain that the scooter could handle that snow!! :) So...did the plows make it down your street today?

    Spring will be around soon and you will have the beautiful flowers to prove it.

    1. BRW wouldn't allow the attempt. Something about keeping me around - good snow shoveler, things like that.
      The plows did make it down. The good news. They plowed the snow into our driveway. The bad news.
      I'm sure Spring is just around the corner. Now. Which way to the correct corner?
      Ciao.
      Mike.

    2. She has a point. A good snow shoveler is hard to find. :)

  3. I think I'd want to stay inside and cook and eat too looking at that snow.

    My back aches just thinking of shoveling it.

    1. Ah Ha!! Take a look at today's little episode.
      I think a martini is definitely in order.
      Ciao.
