Dear Mother Nature

Dear Mother Nature,

On Saturday it snowed. I really did not appreciate this. Did you know that it's March? I think it's time to warm things up a bit.

The past few days you made it up to me, and I appreciate that. It has done wonders for my cabin fever and SADD to sit outside in the afternoons, reading in the sunshine. I've been able to turn off the heat for most of the day and throw open the windows. It makes my day so much better.

My only complaint about warm weather is that for some reason box elder bugs think they can attack me and come into my house. Today one flew in my shirt and another into my hair, so I had to go inside. Tomorrow we will spray the house to get rid of the pesky things. Are box elder bugs essential in some sort of plan of nature? Because if they're not, I would be obliged if you'd eliminate them altogether.

I know that besides a little storm, the forecast looks great. Please keep up the good work. Waking up to a brightly shining sun and a decent temperature does wonders for my peace of mind, and that is something I seriously need.

Love, Katie
