Yesterday was one of those days you put off for a while… you know the ones I’m talking about…
Yesterday was the day my husband I were going to get up early and do “yard work”. When I say yard work, I don’t mean the fun kind, like planting flowers and harvesting the veggies from your garden. I am talking about pulling weeds, the scalping and dethatching of your lawn to prepare for winter grass and the scrubbing of the evidence of the apparent parties the birds have been having on my patio furniture… And while we were happy with our accomplishments by the end of our day of chores, we couldn’t help but complain about the “work”.
I woke this morning to an email forwarded to me from a dear friend. In this email, he forwarded me a picture of his patio in Fremont, Nebraska. I opened up the picture and couldn’t help but laugh the nervous laugh we all do when we aren’t sure how to react to something. He was sending me a picture of SNOW on his patio.

My first reaction was to send him my sympathy. Then, after a minute, I decided to send him a picture of my patio this morning.

When you look at the two pictures, you can’t help but put everything in perspective. While I was out preparing my yard for the beautiful winter months we have coming our way, other people, in other parts of the country were preparing for the winter they have coming their way.. The difference being, they are dragging out the ladder to install the storm windows on the second story. They are locating the ever loved snow shovel that they had so gladly placed in the back of the shed, next to the ice scraper and tire chains.
So, as I sit here with a cup of coffee, sending my husband off for a day of golf, I reflect on the hours I spent yesterday, “working” on my yard…I can’t help but ask myself…WHY? Why would you live anywhere else?
