| Oh --how I LOVE LOVE LOVE snow!!!! (1/22/16) |
Well---you must know that this ole 'snow-loving' lady would certainly have a blog post about our Tennessee Snow this past weekend... OF COURSE!!!! ha ha ... First of all, apologies to all of you up north who have experienced WAY too much snow from this system--and to all of you who have MUCH more snow that we ever get.... BUT--to me SIX INCHES is just perfect....
Here in Tennessee, we don't get a lot of snow, and the one we just had is one of the prettiest ones (clinging to all of the shrubs/trees/bushes) we have had in a few years... I remember some heavier snows here when we first moved here about 2003... BUT--the past several years, we just haven't had much, to MY disappointment.
This past week, we had about 2 inches of snow on Wednesday. Then on Thursday, the temperatures warmed up and we had RAIN.... Then on Friday night--we had LOTS of RAIN, then SLEET and then SNOW... It snowed here on Friday afternoon--and continued all day on Saturday (off and on)... BUT--it was bitter cold with a stiff wind on Saturday... SO--since I had had dental surgery last week, other than to take some pictures and feed my birdies, I stayed inside.
Sit back and enjoy the pictures --knowing that you can enjoy seeing snow from the warmth of your home... Grab a cup of hot tea, hot chocolate or coffee!!!!! Some of the pictures were on the 22nd as the storm was getting started, and some were from the 23rd....

OKAY---that's enough... Hope you enjoyed the pictures --from the warmth of your home!!!!! I am recovering from THREE dental surgeries (on 1/19) ---but am doing GREAT... Amazing how much they have improved through the years when it comes to dentistry.. BUT---with improvement comes more COST.... Yipes!!!!!! Oh ---the joys of getting OLD... ha ha
Have a wonderful day/week... Can't believe that it's almost February!!!! Mercy Me!
Hugs,
