I am Stella, Queen of the Olde English Bulldogges. Lady Human, something is wrong with the world. There is cold white stuff all over the ground. Clean it up.
Me: That’s just frost. Our first frost this season.
Stella: It is cold, and it is making my toesies wet.
Me: It won’t last long. Once the sun hits It and the temperature rises, it will disappear.
Stella: Are you being lazy?
Me: Not this time. It will disappear on its own. I’ll bet you don’t remember, but the day before you came to us, we had a big snowfall, big for us that is. Inches deep and it stayed around for a day. Frost is nothing compared to snow. And that was the last snow we’ve seen since then. Maybe we’ll see some this winter.
Stella: And it covered the ground?
Me: Yup.
Stella: And it was cold and wet?
Me: Yup.
Stella: And it was way deeper?
Me: Yup.
Stella: Nope. You can keep that stuff to yourself.
