My New Do

THE BIG STORM

February 1st we had our "big storm." We had about an 1 1/2 to 2 inches of snow and lots of ice and slush. School was closed for a day and then a 2 hr delay in the morning on Friday. It was nice to have a day off. And for you northerners, southern storms are so dangerous because it usually is an ice storm and it is dangerous to drive in ice. Also, an ice storm can put thousands of people out of power for days and even more than a week. This time were were blessed to just have the beauty of this light covering and a day off school. It rained most of the day so it just was nice to say inside where it was warm.

The poor daffodils by our mailbox have started to bloom. They are all confused. The buds got caught in the snow and they still haven't blossomed. Some daffodils in the neighborhoods around us have though. Some trees bloomed a month or so ago when we had some warm spells.

not much to report

I haven't posted in a while. But there isn't much to report. A few things here and there have been going on. Cherith and I rearranged our bedroom and were able to actually organize it so that it has stayed pretty much clean for a few weeks running. I am excited and less stressed about all that now. There is nothing like coming into a clean room and a bed that is made...despite what teenagers plead in not making their bed and keeping it clean. It just sets you at ease. Ummmm....we had smores on Friday night when Hannah came over for the evening. Cherith and I went downtown Greenville Saturday evening after Ricky's basketball game. His team is doing great this season too. I think they have only lost one game. I will try to give more exciting news soon. NO SCHOOL ON MONDAY! That is exciting news for me. Praise the Lord for National Holidays.
