Strange Weather

We took Logan to his basketball game this morning and I went with a light jacket, no coat. It has been unseasonably warm here. In fact, we had rain these last couple of days which melted all the snow we had.

Those smudges are not smudges at all. Those are some snowflakes!

Now we have some snow on the ground. It first rained a lot then suddenly it switched to the largest snowflakes I have ever seen. And then back to rain and then it came down as ice pellets.

Strange weather indeed. But at least we do not have tornadoes coming down.

Winter Comeback

One of the things that I love about February is that it is the last month of winter. Don't get me wrong, I do like winter but by the time February rolls around I am ready for the Spring.

Yesterday it was so nice and warm outside. It was a joy to work outside on Lynn's house since all I needed was just a jacket.

Oh yeah... ...it is still winter. I thought for sure that we were only going get a skiff of snow. Boy was I in a surprise this morning. We got about six inches of snow!

But the best part is that it is already starting to melt away. I do love February.

First Day of Winter

How could it be the first official day of winter? Haven't I already frozen my tush off?

I like winter. I think it is one of my favorite seasons but I think I only like winter until the beginning of January. Once the holiday season is over, I am ready for winter to be over.

I like cold nights. I love snuggling into a big blanket and making a burrito out of myself. I love feeling the cold air on my face. But enough is enough. I have had winter for two months already. I am wanting to be done.

But I also love the way the snow sticks to the trees after a wet snowstorm.

So I go outside to take the garbage out and I see this buck standing in my neighbor's driveway. And then I saw the MUCH larger one standing behind it.

It wouldn't let me see its face.

I snuck up to the small one and it ran.

It's amazing how good they can blend in with the background. Both of them are in there!
