An Elsie Original...

middle of winter

 My mood is always far too tied to the weather outside my window.   By February I am so over winter. So over it, but still enduring it for 2 (at least) more months.

The kids on the other hand, will happily take whatever the heavens bring them. They will be happy in a DC home, without a/c, in drippy 105 degree heat. They will be happy in Iowa with negative windchill that sneaks in through the microwave vent. Send natures worst upon them, and they will be relentlessly, persistently, happy.
