All right, Winter, you win. You are bigger, faster, and stronger than me. Now that you\u2019ve made your point, would you please give it a rest?<\/p>\n

If I say \u201cuncle\u201d will you quit?<\/p>\n

Uncle.
\nUncle.
\nUncle.<\/p>\n

Why aren\u2019t you listening? Why are you being so mean? And why did you let the snow swallow our picnic table? Do you know what you\u2019ve done?
\nOn nasty winter days I like to look out the kitchen window and see the picnic table standing sentry\u00a0 beside the big, brick grill. Its presence is a promise of warm weather, shish kabobs and s\u2019mores. Seeing it there, so resolute and solid, carries me through the darkest, coldest winter days. But thanks to you\u2019re high-handed ways it\u2019s gone, buried under snow drifts that wore out their welcome over a month ago.<\/p>\n

Did your best bud, the White Witch of Narnia, teach you to be so cruel? You know, if you would just go to fantasyland and hang out with her there, people would like you again. You\u2019d get a steady stream of people reading books about winter on hot summer days when the air conditioning doesn\u2019t work. You\u2019d be popular again.
\nTell you what, Winter, you sleep on it overnight. Think about how nice it would feel to have people like you again. And in the morning, when the sun rises, chant this little ditty about ten thousand times.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m melting, melting, melting. You wicked, wicked girl.\u201d<\/p>\n

Not a quote from your buddy, the White Witch, but something said by a close friend of hers who lives somewhere over the rainbow.<\/p>\n

Give it a try. See what you think. And then go away.<\/p>\n

Please.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
