The wife lost another of her dwarf Alberta spruce evergreens this week
Making a total of three she has lost to the extreme drought in the Southeast
With late fall temperatures rising to well above the record seventy five degrees
The rain that had originally been predicted for the month has failed to materialize
And all the unwashed squirrels and the birds are beginning to stink…
The cars stay clean and the lawn stays cut or uncut as the case may be
I get more spare time to watch sports on TV
The weathermen are all stumped as to when if ever it will rain
But I see this as a positive thing and I am therefore pleased to report
That this year there will be none of that stupid White Christmas stuff…
