Bluish Barn

Two days ago it was sunny and 68 degrees. People were wearing shorts and sandals. Housemate Michelle asked me if I’d help her switch out the screens for the storm windows. I asked her if she was sure, reminded her that this is Michigan, and said something like “maybe this weekend.” Today’s forecast:

I’d say that’s Michigan for you, but really, that’s everywhere for you. People in almost every US state regurgitate the old saying: “Don’t like the weather here? Just wait five minutes!”

So next time she asks to take off the storm windows, I’ll tell her sure, I’ll help - if she just waits five minutes.
