Snow Monster

Today the Snow Monster came

out of hibernation.

Mom insists that it's not going to come

into my house and devour me,

but when I hear that noise I have trouble

believing her.

And she wonders why I don't trust the Maintenance Guys.

After the Snow Monster went back into its cave,

I came out to see if it was all clear.

It was.

All I had to worry about now was the snow

and the bitter cold.

Mom got me ready to go get the mail.

"Uh, I don't think so, Mom!"

I wasn't about to go out there unprotected.

So Mom put me into my Traveling Bag!

Now I was ready!

On the way to the mailbox I kept my head tucked in

away from the snow.

On the way back, however, I was more curious.

I wanted to see everything!

We stopped off to visit with the Nice Ladies.

It was nice and warm in the office.

 Then it was time to go home,

but I was out of my bag now and

had to face the elements.

So cold! Run run run run run!

 Once home, I had to check the bedroom window

again for signs of the Snow Monster.

Still safe.

After awhile the Teenagers came over.

They took all the good seating,

so I took their jackets.

Of course, once they all left I took the good chair again.

Now maybe I can get a decent nap in!
