~ IT'S HERE! ~"This morning when I woke to a deafening silence I knew it was here. It was as if someone had clamped cotton wool over my ears, tight! Even the shrill melody of the dawn chorus was dulled. They had told us it was coming, the qualified ones, with Hollywood smiles, charts and pointers, and elegant hands, and stories of mass disruption it had caused in the past.

I pulled open my curtains, just a little, and with a timid peek, saw, not a dusting or a sprinkling, but a thick heavy blanket of jewel encrusted, diamond sparkling, virgin snow." -S.J. Ashdown

"SNOW IN THE SOUTH... is wonderful. It has a kind of magic and mystery that it has nowhere else. And the reason for this is that it comes to people in the South not as the grim, unyielding tenant of Winter's keep, but as a strange and wild visitor from the secret North." -Thomas Wolfe

     


Beth777 is my emergency contact,
and we share the same b'day:)





My name is Diane, but go by 'di'. Native Kentuckian; Alabama is home many years. Married 55yrs, 2 children, 5 g'children, and a li'l girl kitty, Miss Darby, a 3yo Turkish Van (never heard of that one). Our vet, whose shelter we adopted this tiny thing from, gave us no warning, but after a week we knew something was up. I googled breed temperament: 1st paragraph, "Put away breakables if you have a Turkish Van in the house." ummm... too late. Geeez, our tabby cats were sane! lol It's an adventure, but with lotsa love for our Darby aka "Dobbie-Dobbie".
