Six and 1/2 Words

Maka is persistent.

We have been struggling with, really suffering with, the unimaginable cold and discomfort of winter for what, four or five months now? A maddeningly, torturous hell.

Still, when I descend the stairs in the morning, Maka saunters over to the sliding glass doors hoping I will let her out on to the screened in porch. Her favorite place to be in the entire world.

I had to jolt her back to reality yet again this morning, and it pained me to do it, with these words:

"Sorry, Little One. It's fucking winter."
