Slush

– Spring is here at last. Only a few weeks till Easter.
– I notice the snow has almost melted.
– There wasn't much snow.
– There was enough. And what there was was cold and wet.
– You must expect a bit of snow sometimes. Even in spring.
– I rather expect sunshine and daffodils and little baby bunnies bouncing around the meadows.
– Well, I am sure all those things will arrive in due course. But Easter is a little earlier than usual.
– Hence the snow?
– You should look on the bright side. This could be your last sight of snow till next winter.
– It's what I was hoping for.
– It looks very pretty, especially when you see it carpeting the hills.
– You could say the same for daffodils and baby bunnies.
– They will arrive eventually.
– Will they? The daffodils are smothered under a layer of permafrost by now. And as for the bunnies, they will have migrated south for a bit of warmth.
– I'm not sure rabbits migrate.
– Believe me, when it's this cold, they migrate.
