| A week after Spring officially began (3-27). |
I kept my promise. Albeit, there were probably two or three passive-aggressive complaints, but they were, for all practical purposes, merely statements of fact. And while I complained in comments on OTHER people's complainy weather posts, I didn't outright come out with a negative post myself. Instead, I kept a journal (of sorts) in the form of badly-drawn cartoons--sometimes with words--of my angst. Now that it is supposedly not winter anymore (currently, it is 40F and snowing, thank you very much, Mother Nature), I have decided to share my cartoonish complaints all in one place.
Enjoy! And remember: these are not masterpieces. I did not intend for them to be critiqued for their artistic amazingness. They are for your amusement. Or Bemusement. Or whatever. Some have dates; some do not. They are out of order because I dropped them in the process of scanning them. My bad.
Oh, and the eyeball one. I don't know what it symbolizes. It's what I was feeling. Maybe one of those 50 below 0 evenings when I was outside trying to enjoy a cigarette, and the resultant frozen eyeballs had something to do with it.
I laughed so hard at some of your pics! That's part of why I moved from MN to FL and is the reason I don't see myself going back. I visited my parents in SD 3 years ago in March. I played in the snow with my 2 daughters and grandson, who had never seen snow. We made a snowman, had a snowball fight, and I showed them the importance of finding clean snow to eat. My dad went to the store and bought a sled for my youngest and grandson. Everyone had a great time, for a little bit. Then we were all frozen. Although my youngest and grandson went out in it a few more times, listening now on why we dress appropriately and don't wear jeans that are going to get wet and freeze, I never went back out. We left for the airport to come back home when it was 5 below. I said, "this is exactly why I can't move back north. It's so cold it just hurts me!" That was no exaggeration either! :)
