What Season is It? (WC 261, R - E)
The Ides of April are almost upon us which means I need to get my butt moving or I'll run out of time.

I've been busy, with spring finally arriving for a day or two before summer set in. Hey, this is Minnesota, a couple of spring days is typical! Yes, it went from barely reaching a temperature high enough to thaw to mid and upper-thirties for a couple of days. But, the temperature over the last few days has been in the sixties.

With all the snow and ice we had, this has resulted in vast amounts of flowing water, muck, and mud. I have been shoveling snow, chipping away at the ice, and playing in the mud contouring the driveway so the water will flow away instead of standing and making more mud.

Now that I've made progress in ridding areas of snow, ice, and have a lot of the drive dried out and solid, we have the return of spring predicted for Friday, with highs in the mid-forties with rain. Then on Saturday, winter returns with highs near thirty and snow!

Sunday's forecast is for me to start this process all over again, but this time around it should be easier and quicker. My older teen claims that Minnesota is bipolar, but I corrected her. With spring, summer, and winter all within three days, I think the state is tripolar. On the bright side, at least we haven't had autumn tossed into the mix again.

About The Author
My writing doesn't follow any set genre, it's interdependent of my mood and all that's taking place in life. I'm still finding myself, what I write constitutes the markers along the path of that journey. With time, many things will manifest in my work and perhaps I will pursue one or two genres. For now, it's not, "What type of writing is my passion?" "Writing is my passion."
