Believing

The weatherman says a wintry storm is coming tonight. I didn't know whether to believe him. He has been imprecise so many times before.

Never the less I found the hydrometer and checked the antifreeze. I left the garden hose dripping and I brought in the plants. Earlier my co-workers had made contingency plans, schemed to gain a day off work if we received any snow at all. I drove home not believing. A skeptic. Unswayed.

Tonight I went out with the dogs for a last bathroom break before bed. I felt the wind. Maybe it is coming.....





Meanwhile, in North Carolina........
