It FINALLY happened!!


Well, as you can see from the pictures on the left here, we finally got some snow.
We actually got sleet first which started around 4pm and went on for about an
hour or so. The snow then started coming down pretty heavy and we had a few
hours of that.

I got up to take Daisy, my Basset Hound, out this morning and it had all turned
to ice. My feet didn't even sink in while I was walking. Granted, there wasn't all that much to begin with, but that's beside the point.

Daisy, being the girly girl that she is, tried to very delicately place her feet in
just the right spots while walking. It was hilarious.

I think maybe the reason she did this was because the last time we had snow,
only about 2 inches if that much, she tried to take off running when we went
out but promptly sank that few inches. She's been kind of wary of it since.

The snow we get here in Tennessee, when we get it, never lasts for very long.
There is still some on the grass and driveway and the road out front, but the
pretty trees and branches you see on the left here, it's already completely melted
off of.

We know that we have to be quick to get outside and get pictures before it's all
gone. You know, that way we have something to show the grandkids...when we're old enough to have them that is. I remember playing in snow up to my knees
when I was a kid, right here in the same town. I don't think that will ever happen
around here again. Oh well.

Hope everyone has a Great Day!!
