Oof. That took me some time lol. [For personal reference: 23:41 mins]
replyHmm... a bit early. I would expect this in March. Unless this is a global climate change commentary
replyBrillant! Although In 50 years we will be saying "Snow, eh? Remember that?"

50? How about already? We haven't had any snow here this year where I am in the Northeast, and most years we don't get any. We used to get a few feet per year. In 2011, the shoveled snow from several storms was taller than me.

So true. But at my age and with my cardiac history I'm not permitted to shovel, so it's just as well.
replyWe had lots of snow that year here in Greater Philadelphia and my husband had sciatica, so I did a lot of shoveling. Good thing I was still young enough to handle it (50). I miss snow! But what I really hate is the miserable long hot summers. I'm thankful for AC.

If you really squint really hard, it could be Picasso's cow, facing right, wearing a jaunty black cap, with a saguaro cactus in the background right and a bush in the background left. I need to get better sleep...
very funny picture, didn´t figure that one until i saw the tittle
replySeeing the snowman standing all alone
In dusk and cold is more than he can bear.
The small boy weeps to hear the wind prepare
A night of gnashings and enormous moan.
His tearful sight can hardly reach to where
The pale-faced figure with bitumen eyes
Returns him such a God-forsaken stare
As outcast Adam gave to paradise.
The man of snow is, nonetheless, content,
Having no wish to go inside and die.
Still, he is moved to see the youngster cry.
Though frozen water is his element,
He melts enough to drop from one soft eye
A trickle of the purest rain, a tear
For the child at the bright pane surrounded by
Such warmth, such light, such love, and so much fear.

Dans la nuit de l’hiver Galope un grand homme blanc Galope un grand homme blanc
C’est un bonhomme de neige Avec une pipe en bois
Un grand bonhomme de neige Poursuivi par le froid.
Il arrive au village
Il arrive au village Voyant de la lumière Le voilà rassuré.
Dans une petite maison
Il entre sans frapper Dans une petite maison
Il entre sans frapper,
Et pour se réchauffer
Et pour se réchauffer S’assoit sur le poêle rouge Et d’un coup disparaît
Ne laissant que sa pipe Au milieu d’une flaque d’eau Ne laissant que sa pipe
Et puis son vieux chapeau ...
