CHARACTERS: The Fates, Old Man Winter
SCENE: Curtains open on a sunny patio. The Fates are sitting around a lawn table, enjoying some cookies with Old Man Winter.
The Fates: So glad you could stop by, Old Man.
Winter: Well, I was happy to get the offer. Not much to do anymore you know. Just enjoying the quite life till the snooze alarm of Fall goes off.
The Fates: Would you like some lemonade?
Winter: Why, thank you. I would. Think I'll just put my feet up a bit. Sun my toes. Ohhh, that feels good.
The Fates: Yes, it seems all our toes are ready for a little illumination. We were just watching Emily put her winter boots away yesterday.
Winter: What?
The Fates: Emily. We were just watching her yesterday. She so carefully tucked her boots safely into the back of her closet to enjoy a much needed rest until next year. So nice of her.
--Old Man Winter lurches clumsily from his reclined chair, shoveling down the last of his cookie and lemonade, grabbing for his shoes--
The Fates: Can we help you with something Old Man. You look in a hurry.
Winter: Oh. Yes you can help me. Come on. This will be hilarious.
The Fates: But you just sat down.
Winter: No matter. This is worth it. Can't pass it up.
--They hurry over to look down on earth--
Winter: Watch this. Oh, it's so funny. Hand me that over there.
The Fates (quizzically): This?
Winter: Yes, hand it to me.
The Fates: But it's March 30th?
Winter: I know. That's what makes it so funny. Get it?!
The Fates: Oh, that IS funny. Yes, we will help. Here. Here is an extra helping. Pour that on down there.
--riotous laughing ensues--
The Fates: Oh, that's just gangbusters. Hilarious. Oh, we have to do this more. We can't stand it.
Winter: I KNOW. I just can't get enough. Here, you pour some. So so funny. Bwhaaaaahahahahaha!
Happy March 30th!

Noooooo! Oh, those Fates.
I hear it's heading here and we'll have an April Fools' Day 6-12 inches. Boo. I'm in denial.
I saw you in Mika wedding pictures! It looked wonderful.
That is just WRONG WRONG WRONG! We got some snow the other day, too, but thankfully it's melted. I don't know what I would do if I had to see it again this year...
Yikes. Tempting fate myself.
Matt and the boys are camping outside, under the stars tonight. Just sayin'.....:P
HEY! Can't WAIT to see you come this MAY!!!!!!!!!!!
LOL! Bravo:-)
It always snowed on Tom's birthday when we were in SLC. We had an April Fools snow, but it didn't stick. Great photos. Looking forward to seeing you guys and meeting little Amelia.
