Day Thirty One


Neil broke this "Winter sandwich" off the car this afternoon--a solid layer of ice in between two layers of snow. This stuff is making for treacherous road conditions in our hilly little town. The temperature got near forty degrees and the snow and ice started to melt some. We did venture out and about this afternoon before the next hard freeze sets in tonight. No school Monday!

Day Thirty

Winter Says Hello


These icicles grew throughout the day. Check it out.

Little brown sparrow in a sea of white.

Eddie Kitty stayed outside all day romping in the snow.

It doesn't look like much, but this snow has shut this town down.

Still growing...

We have a Cardinal couple who come out when it snows, but they never seem to show up at the same time.

Last night the temperatures rose and it started to sleet, so we got a layer of ice over the snow. Around noon today, it started snowing again and covered the ice. Makes for a slick Winter sandwich.

The icicles had grown several inches by late this afternoon. Beautiful day. Hope everyone stays safe and warm.

Day Twenty Nine

Mrs. Cardinal's Snow Day


And yes it did snow today just like the fortune tellers--I mean...weather experts--told us it would. The Cardinals seem to love the snow. It's the only time I ever see them anymore. The snow was beautiful, although it didn't amount to much in my back yard. It's funny how the snow can fall all day long and this is all we have to show for it. That's okay. There's something magical about snowfall, and it's always fun to watch.

Day Twenty Eight

Calm Before The Storm?


I took this picture with my cell phone camera at Cane Creek Rec Center yesterday afternoon. The sky was so beautiful I almost drove off the road trying to take pictures. That can be worse than texting while driving. I took this after I got out of my car. And since I didn't take any pictures today, I thought I'd share this one because this could be the calm before the storm. The weather experts keep telling us there will be ice and snow Friday and possibly lots of it. Stay tuned.

Day Twenty Seven

Happy 9Th Wedding Anniversary, Holly And Jerry!


Daughter Holly and son in law Jerry were married January 27, 2001. Hard to believe they're already celebrating nine years of marriage. I can't get over how young they look in this picture. It's one of my favorite pictures of them.

The Myers Family has grown over the past nine years. Here they are with daughter Shelby and son Elijah. What an awesome family! You all are a blessing to me and everyone who knows you. I love you so much and wish you every happiness today and throughout all the years to come!
Happy Anniversary!
