So C-O-L-D...

I have ALWAYS been a fan of cool to cold weather...I love the crispness of the cold air and there is just something really "clean" about it to me....I have many, many things I refer to as "clean" lol I am weird, I know...things like the smell of water from a hose pipe, the taste of lettuce, etc...don't ask, I don't know why...these things simply have something "clean" about them to me... :) HOWEVER it is becoming rather BRUTAL outside around here lately!  We are not severe cold weather people down here in the Deep South!  I am beginning to wonder if we will ever thaw out....weather says the low tonight is something totally absurd like 19 degrees. 
1-9 freaking degrees....Springtime come and SAVE us PLEASE!!!!!!!

This should NEVER happen way down here in Alabama let alone AS MANY times as

it has this season already!!!

Wishing we were looking at something more like that!!!!!

Ice/Snow Day 2011

Yes, so the slightest bit of snow and/or ice almost completely shuts the cities down around here...no one is prepared for things like this here in the deep south!  It's COLD, slushy, icy and icky to boot!!! Everything around our house is encased in a layer of ice...it looks pretty neat on the trees and plants but I am not sure they feel the same way about it :)

And of course Terry just HAD to try out the old tongue to pole theory on the flag poles in the graveyard next door, which by the way all 3 flags are FROZEN in place hanging there....lol

It works....sort of....lol...he said it stuck just a little bit lol, thank the lord it was ONLY a little bit I would have had to go get some hot water if not ;)
