The Dog Days of ... Winter!

"Mommy, when will it be over?  When can I go out and chase birds, butterflies, and roll with joy and full abandon in the green, green, grass?

"You say 'Soon, soon!'   And I keep a watch, and things still seem the same.  All white.  All cold.  It all makes my paws hurt!"  

I don't see the rabbits, the squirrel, all those friends who are so happy when it's green and pretty outside.  Just birds and birds and more birds.  I'm tired of birds!  


JuneBug doesn't even chase them much anymore!"

"But if you say springtime will be here soon, I will wait.

How ever long that takes!"

Yes, we are in THOSE days....the "dog" days of winter:  when the animals look like they cannot stand another minute of it.  


You must admit, it gets a little old.  Especially for creatures who must go outside to use the "facilities".  Crunchy cold.  Numbing cold.  


The good part?  We have snow to go with it, unlike brown winters--give me the white ones that brighten up the world a whole bunch.





But.



Are you dreaming of a "spring break" with some warmth, sunshine, lapping waves to hypnotize you and the feel of those gentle salty breezes, too?  


(In the summer, Michigan is a great place to be, but NOW?  Not so much...)


So...if you could get away to somewhere warm that has all you crave this time of year,  WHERE would you like to go?  


(Our favorite beach getaway is Gulf Shores, Alabama.)  


Let me know your favorite sunny spot where you like to sit in the sand...
