Surrender

Right now, I feel like doing what Yogi-dog does when he meets a bigger, stronger more aggressive dog; he just rolls on his back saying "I give up...really".


I am surrendering to Mother Earth and her weather patterns.  Last May, I posted a picture of this Tahoe street covered in snow; tree branches weighted down, white lawns, little dog tracks in the middle of the street.  It was a springtime winter-wonderland.

Now look......

No sign of snow looking east

Or looking west either

It is December, almost Christmas, and instead of a white one we will have a brown one. No snow is forecast for the near future.  In the meantime, our desert house is getting rain.  Go figure.

How can a dog play in that?

I am perplexed but that's all right, I am old and supposed to be confused.  Come to think about it, Mother Earth is also pretty old and maybe she's got of touch of dementia so we'll forgive her.....this time.  To all our friends:

Merry Christmas or

Happy Hanukkah or

Best Wishes for Al-Hijira or

Happy Winter Solstice.............

Oh, forget it, just have a good time whatever you're celebrating!
