"Trying to make the wife happy"

A customer just purchased iris and yellow tulips in an attempt to keep his wife happy. He said that he should have taken a vacation this year, and that he will certainly take one next winter. I so understand. My son leaves the cold of winter for the sun, beach and palm trees. With six feet of snow this winter,cold cold temperatures, everyone is looking forward to spring. The Great Lakes froze over this year, preventing evaporation, so for the first time in many years, the lake and river levels should rise. Talked to a customer from the west coast who said that it was pouring rain and that flooding was likely. I have been doing okay this winter because I light candles and drink a hot carob drink. And the fact that the days are longer, I drive home in the light now, makes me happy. I am doing fine. I am looking forward to paying attention to my husband, though unfortunately for him, I am not Donna Reed and to the college basketball playoffs.
