SPLAT !!!! Gotcha with a snowball!!
Oh my word has it been cold around here and almost everywhere (except you people “Down Under” and in Florida!!!)……………..our HIGH yesterday was 25 and we have three inches of snow and they aren’t going to go ANYWHERE for a while in this windy, cold weather. With wind chill figured in they say it’s like 6 degrees out there. But guess what………….yesterday morning I went outside in the snow! That’s right………for all of about 60 seconds but I was in the snow and I walked in my Dad’s footsteps in the snow and EVERYTHING. About the time I got up to the driveway I ran out of steam and my tootsies were freezing so I ran quick like a bunny wabbit back to the basement door until OLD MOM got there and inside we came. YIKES! Dad went out later and played with his snowthrower (although “play” may not be the right word!!).
Lots of deer tracks in the snow so I guess they’re taking advantage of the full birdfeeders – they do love sunflower seeds and unfortunately they eat our azaleas which means no flowers in the Spring! DANG!
Everyone really seemed to love the TOUGH Teaser we had this week…………….I’ll try to give you more of those toughies but sprinkle in some easier ones too – don’t want everyone getting discouraged and after all – NOBODY has take home the “First Right Guesser” or “Right Guesser” awards yet…………….the Big Greenie is everywhere though! HAHAHA
We’re going to have a “Winter Wonderland” party at Cat Scouts and that got me googling some silly photos………….thought you might enjoy these!
Some of you might remember that I have my very OWN sled – my Mom and Dad found it a couple of years ago in an antiques place!
WOW! My very own sled!
Stay WARM if you’re in a cold place…………stay COOL if you’re in a hot place……….and always stay SAFE no matter where you are!
Love and Warm Hugs,
Sammy
