"I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that" - Unknown

"They err who think Santa Clause comes down through the chimney; he really enters through the heart." - Mrs. Paul M. Ell

"The truth about a man is in what he does, not what he says." - W. Dale Cramer in "Levi's Will"

Yesterday Looked Like This - - -

And "they" say tomorrow will be even worse - - - maybe 18 inches or so.

Of course, to a snow bird like me, even worse means even better!!!

And when I say SNOW BIRD, I mean a bird who loves the snow. Round these here parts, little Juncos are called snow birds 'cause they LOVE to come out and play in the snow.

I've heard my cousins in Tucson refer to snow birds before...; December 10, 2010 at 3:42 PM
Tonja said...: I can not even imagine seeing that in my yard! It's beautiful!

So, by 'snow bird' do you mean you really like the snow? Cause round here 'snow birds' are the folks up north who go down to Florida for the winter months.

I hope you get as much of that 'white blanket' as you want!; December 10, 2010 at 5:24 PM

At my house: 0" of snow. Seems the pattern has shifted and moved east!

Enjoy your winter wonderland, Ms. Snow BIRD!; December 10, 2010 at 5:32 PM

We have had super mild weather here for Dec. I do hope we get a little white at least for Christmas...then after that it can just go away!
Thanks for stopping by. I've been away so long and am happy to be back in the saddle again!
