The Bald Cypress tree in our front yard is completely iced over. We did not get any snow, just sleet and ice.
This is the beautiful Vitex tree in the backyard. It is also called a Chaste Tree and has beautiful purple flowers like a lavender plant.
Yes we have lost some limbs already and are supposed to have high winds tomorrow which means we will probably lose more.
Boo hoo! My beautiful backyard is going to need some work very soon. Feel free to let me know when you might be in the Dallas / Fort Worth area and would like to help.
Besides, you might get to have some fun like Michelle and Nicole with my 12 year old son, who will never grow up, that is behind the wheel of his car! I even got to see them (on FaceTime) spin out!
This is what is coming our way. WHAT??? Can you say global warming? I am freezing today even though I uncovered plants and moved plants out of the garage into the driveway. I will be covering and moving again very soon. Brrrr! Snow, Ice, Sleet - no thank you!
These were put on two weeks ago and they are now gone. I started Valentine early like the beautiful pages on The Hill. Now new ones are on...
I got half the house vacuumed. Hubby is now cleaning toes every day so I take the dressings off and put them back on. However, the pin in the little toe keeps wanting to come out. He doesn't see the doctor again until the 10th. So after a phone call to the on-call doctor, Hubby took the pin in his little toe out himself. Enough said! We won't talk about that any more.
By the time I get back here to visit with you, we will probably have snow and be really freezing even though we started at 28 this morning. Having that for a high instead of 70 is not my idea of fun. But I'll drink to that with you!
I have had the best morning reading all your posts. Makes me smile and warms my heart. Praying for those who are getting high winds and tons of snow. Seems like even with the sun shining most of us are very cold.
I really don't know how you live in weather like that and how all the animals and birds survive. I love that my girls sit in the chair with me to keep me warm.
Now it is time for me to get busy around this house. OK, I need to do my nails too. But after next week I sure hope you have more time to get this house straightened up. Dust bunnies are running rampid around here. There might be an abundance of dog hairs too.
I'M HAPPY TO HEAR THEY FOUND THE PROBLEM AND FIXED IT RIGHT AWAY. KEEPING YOU IN PRAYERS. WE HAVE NOT HAD A LOT OF SNOW YET. BUT, THEY ARE CALLING FOR A BAD SNOW STORM THIS WEEK AND WEEKEND. THEY ARE SAYING 3, TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW PER HOUR. IT COULD LAST MANY HOURS. SURE HOPE AND PRAY THEY ARE WRONG AGAIN. THAT IS A LOT OF SNOW. THAT COULD COVER OUR HOMES. HAVE A GREAT WEEKEND GEORGE AND GOD BLESS YOU. LEE

Happy weekend my dear friend and s0rrry for being away this week but started my chemo last week and it really had me feeling terrible this week. Seems it was a mess up on the medicines I should have had. Hopefully it's straightened out now. Wishing you a great week and a warm one in the midst of all the snow. Stay safe and take care.....George
and I'm sending you mine to help/hope you feel better, George. Hugs, Anne
