Ohhhhh--I LOVE snow!!! And, I love your pix, cyn!! Especially, the doggie poses
and the cardinal pix!

We finally got a little bit but it's very wet and soppy and on the verge of melting!!
I sure hope we get lots more!! Growing up in Fla., I've always loved having snow
in the winters, since all the Christmas cards always showed snow for Christmas!!
When I was very little, I would think that somehow snow would miraculously just
show up on Dec. 25th! Guess you know I was disappointed, A LOT, about that
and in not ever getting the pony I was sure should also show up one year!!

Thanks Northerner - better go measure those containers. I think they might just make it but we'll see - no point in taking up space in my collection box!! Actually, I found Trudi right off the hop! Her article was one of the first things I read. I've been bouncing back and forth between the Canadian WS and the WS forums. It has become my nightly reading. What a wealth of information! Hopefully I'll be done by the time I'm ready to get started planting. I'm sure I'll have lots of questions for all you experts out there. And you're right - you all sound like a wonderful bunch - I'm looking forward to lots of feedback! Finally...someone to understand me! The family is already giving me the, "Now what is she doing" looks. Just wait - I'll show 'em! Stay warm!!

Snow ?? All we are getting is rain but then if we get one good snow a year, we are lucky and the entire upper half of the state shuts down! I am just south of Atlanta in GA. We did have a few sprinkles one day last week and also some sleet but no snow on the ground. Y'all take lots of pictures so you can scrap them! We don't get to do too many snow pages. But more than that, please be careful and have blankets in your vehicle if you travel. Rebecca

Looking at the news about the monster storm back east, I think the people there will have a tough time. At least, they have had plenty of warning so they can do the best they can under the circumstances. Our weather here in the valley has been glorious, 70+ during the day and about 40 at night. I would like some rain, but there is nothing I can do about that, so I enjoy the weather while it is here.

Love that card, Janice! I went to college with someone who grew up in Florida-he had never seen snow. Too funny. I grew up in Pennsylvania, so we had plenty. I still love it. Hoping for a snow day from school tomorrow and maybe Tuesday as well!

DS is driving back to our area today. He was in Denver to visit his best friend and couldn't fly back since the air port is closed. He's in Ohio now. He can't wait to get home to see the snow. He stopped for a snow shovel up there somewhere-his girlfriend is snowed in. She can't even open the storm door. We aren't often this lucky. DH is shoveling a path to the street even though I contracted with someone to clear our drive and sidewalks this year. I doubt he was expected such a large snowfall. Wonder if he will get here. No worries if not, I am snug and cozy inside.

Ahhh, I'm jealous cyn!!! We would still be able to do Christmas, with at least one daughter and her
crew--they live behind us, across the street. The other daughter lives about 7 mins away--on a good day!
So, not sure they could come, but Christmas is Christmas anytime we can get together and I'd love snow like
you're describing even more than the 'day'! I hate saying that because I know for so many more people, it
would not be a good thing to be snowed in!!! So, I'll take what I can get, and be thankful!!

Are you reading any good books while you're 'snugged in'?

I have picked up Tolkien's Lord of the Rings (don't know how to underline when I post-or any of the fancy stuff you and others do here, alas) again. I have read it more than 40 times, but it just seemed like a good read for this weather. It is my favorite book. I also like non-fiction history, but lately have needed more "fun" reading. Trying to live in my "happy place" rather than reality-LOL.

DS traveled down I-70 yesterday. That would have taken him pretty close to you, maybe. Anyway, I thought of you when he called once he was in PA.

Anyway, what books do you like?

You know, I haven't read any of the Tolkien books yet though so many love them. I need to do that!

Right now I'm reading Ted Dekker's Trilogy Black/Red/White! Very different!

I've been reading Joel Rosenberg books, 'The Last Jihad' and now 'The Last Days' and read
'The Epicenter' on the side along with this series! Very hard to put them down when I start!!

I have a double set of bookcases in our bedroom, absolutely full of so many wonderful books
and I've probably read only about 15% of them. Everytime I hear of a good book, I buy it usually
thru Amazon used books or Alibris books! I also do eReader books with my Palm for bedtime!!

Now, if I just had the time to read those books! Sigh!!

Merry, merry to you both. Phil, the snow is tons of fun, but after Christmas, I will be ready for it to be gone. All my 2.5' lighted trees by the walk are completely covered! Oh well. Janice, I will need to check out your books!

Heeyyy Phil!!! I'm so sorry you're not getting much snow to enjoy!! Which parts got 24" of snow?
Was there that much in the Murphy area? Mom and Dad use to have such awesome snow at times, more than
what we have been getting!! Then there was that blizzard in '93, which was so unbelievable--two weeks without power!
That's a lot of snow!!

Merry Christmas to you and Diane!!! :o)

Hey,Janice! The 24 inches were over near Robbinsville. Most of the larger snows were north of here,like Asheville,and Hendersonville,where they got 11.8". It depends on where you were,but we all got some snow,and some of it is still in the woods here,because sun never melts it. Hope you and Steve are well! Phil
