Rosemarie - definitely show some photos of your blooming flowers. I'm so ready for ours to start peeking out. I can feel spring coming upon us soon! :)

Sounds like a plan, Rosemarie! It was fun, but now I want it to go away! It probably will be all a big pile of yuk by Wednesday, when it's supposed to be 50 and 60 on Friday :)

Take some photos of YOUR yard and post them so we Kentucky and Ohio girls can share in Springtime

I love it! Since moving to MS I have missed the snow so much. We've lived here almost 8 years and it has snowed twice. But I have to tell you I've been playing in the yard today. My rose bushes are beautiful and spiria is in bloom as well as irises and daffodils. May we could trade places for a couple of days. RoseMarie

Wow, beautiful pics Jonni. We didn't get as much snow as you, but still enough. I've never seen as many cancellations on tv Sat. and Sun. And birds... we filled our bird feeder 3 times this weekend. One time it was emptied in several hours! It was fun watching them out the window, they are so beautiful.

The snow is melting really fast with the sun shining. I was really shocked by how fast it was melting...you can see the grass and our sidewalk and driveway is completely clear. God must have shoveled it for us. haha.

Our class got cancelled, Janice--it's rescheduled for this coming Saturday, though, so we're very glad of that! Oh, poor Minnie--she and Daisy need to have stilts! I've never seen little legs move faster to get out and back in!

Hey all you Kentucky girls! There's a great special on John Denver right now :)...I love him :)

Jonni - Did your bee class on Saturday get cancelled? Rescheduled? Poor Daisy bad seed. She's like our little Minnie...poor thing can't figure out where to 'go'!

Hey Miss Wilma! It's even prettier today, I think! It's sunny and OH SO BRIGHT! But, I love the sunshine--however, it is only 20 degrees, so not very good "outside" weather. It was 6 this morning when we woke up! Brrrr! I just got finished planting some seeds in the peat pots so I'm trying to usher Spring in for sure!

Thanks for the nice compliment about the photo--that's our lower portion of the yard, where we have the wild brambles and (soon) bees. It's my favorite place to sit and dream :)

haha...I made hubby drive. At least I know that my car handles pretty well in the stuff. The main roads are fine, the side roads are horrible. Finally got some photos in my blog thingie. Yeah the wedding party was hillarious. There were only a few cars at the church and we had pulled in. It's a very old church and I have been taking photos throughout the seasons of it. I hadn't gotten one of it in the snow because well, we haven't had much of any. You would have thought we lived in Florida or something. haha. That's when we saw the wedding party going in. I really wish I had taken a photo thinking back, but I would have really felt weird for doing so.

Alright, crazy girl driving around! I haven't been out since yesterday at 12 noon! I'm ecstatic that there was a wedding, though--the show must go on, right?!

Hope your hot cocoa is good and that you had a wonderful day together....Jus drove into work only to wait there to find that noone ever opened up--guess they forgot to call people to tell them not to come in!

Hubby and I adventured outside and decided to take a drive. (Yep, curiosity got the best of us...) We have 6 inches of snow and one place we had 8 inches of snow. The bad thing is that we cannot get our driveway scrapped off because there are no snow shovels anywhere. They have their spring stuff out (even though it always snows in KY up through April). Well I took photos outside and then we went driving around. We ended up strolling upon a wedding in a small country church that I was wanting to take a photo of in the snow (outside). It was funny seeing people in suits and dresses in this snow. Bless their heart! Then we ventured on and I got some photos of some of my favorite hot spots for horse and barn photos. Ran into a couple of others who were taking photos too. Everyone was in good spirits and we talked photos and different places to go. One of the guys I recognized was one of the big time photographers at the city paper that I admire their work.

I'm in the process of uploading photos...I'll let ya'll know when I get them uploaded. :)

Jonni...we're gonna grab a cup of hot chocolate in a few. That sound delicious!

What a grand snow storm! I bet you all are so happy! And what a great time to have one! By the time that it is all gone- it will be a nice warm spring for you!

Nubidane- You can make homemade marshmallows with MaryJane's ChillOver powder! Yum!

Homemade marshmallows!! How are those made?
We just got back from a trek & I took some pics. Will post soon. I know the WA, ID, WY, UT gals aren't impressed with our snow, but it is the 1st REAL snow we've had in a few years YIPPEE
KYgurlsrbest Posted - Mar 08 2008 : 10:30:49 AM
It's official 13.75 inches here at our house, not in a drift! We just took (a very laborius) walk through the woods with the three big dogs (poor Daisy, it's over her head!) and they were like ice cutters blazing paths through the snow. Amazing!!!! We are sitting down to hot chocolate (dulce de leche!) with homemade marshmallows from the lady across the street--it does pay to help your neighbors :)

Holy cow....we have a TON of snow that has hit us. The local news keeps showing photos from my neck of the woods. I'm getting ready to run out there and take a few photos. It's still coming down pretty hard though at times. Beautiful pix Jonni!

After we go play, we are staying in...grab a cup of hot chocolate...read my massive pile of MJF magazines...and watch it snow. :)

Will post photos when I get back in. I feel like a kiddo again. haha

You got snowed in too, huh, Wilma! I just made breakfast and you, poor thing, are probably still sleepy!!! We're getting another snow again--seems like some band is coming in from Indiana. One inch per hour they just said. I'm going to make a snowman either today or tomorrow--poor Justin has to work tonight!!! I think I'm just going to let him drive in tonight--don't know how many folks will be eating, but he said that (yesterday) they were full for reservations....Poor guy! Guess I'll get a lot of projects accomplished :)

That's great (I guess :)), Lea! Hope your pup has as much fun as our guys! I just took hot chocolate over to my husband and neighbor--he and the dogs are helping her shovel out her walk.

Hey Miss Wilma!!! Are you snowed in?
