Snow Day!!!

As you all know... I live in the Heart of Dixie... Smack dab in the middle of the great state of Alabammy. So snow is a BIG thing here! One news station had reporters out all morning trying to find these elusive flakes, there were children laying on the dusted ground trying their very best to make snow angels, scooping up scant handfuls of the white stuff to toss at each other, and doing their version of a "snow dance" trying to keep it coming down. It seemed to be a happy Saturday morning for many of the locals, and I must say that I did spend my fair share of time gazing out the window and reminiscing of snow days past. Most of all, I was glad not to be stuck at work sleeping on a hard hospital floor and lounged on the couch in my jammies wrapped in my new fleece blankie (Thanks Jilly!) snug as a bug in a rug. I did venture out to the deck and front porch to snap a few pics of my nearly 1/4" before it was gone. Good thing I did... about an hour after the last flake fell, our Snowy Saturday was nothing but wet ground once again. *Sigh*

This little squirrel certainly didn't seem to like the extra cold power lines! He was moving FAST!

Thank You Jilly Jill for our new warm blankies!
My kitty cat throw certainly was nice to have today!
And what's a Snow Day without a good bowl of chili! Yum!
