It's Friday & Still Cold...

  The wind blew hard all night, and drifted the snow we had. This fenced area is our wood pile. There will be shoveling to get in there. LOL
  It's has been so crazy cold I wanted to see flowers.  Here's some pansies from two years ago. So sweet and colorful.
 This is from one of the displays at Horton's two Springs ago. Pretty !!  My daughter , Kathy, emailed me and said she had ordered me some seed catalogs from the Burpee Company. Oh I can't wait till they get here.
   I am amazed at the colder temperatures that some of you in the south are getting. We expect it  here, I wonder if  the southerners are prepared. I saw on the news where Jacksonville , Florida was having ice and snow. Yikes. My brother lives in Alabama. He still has the snow shovel he had when he lived here in Indiana. So I know he keeps that around. 
   I hope all of you are warm and safe. Hey, 2 weeks of January is about up. XO

    We have no snow here, and our temps today are actually predicted to be a degree above freezing; still cold at night, though. Snow pics look so pretty. Such a shame it can cause such problems. I always enjoy one good snowfall during the winter, but that rarely happens here. Have a great day, Susie! Stay warm and safe! xo Nellie

      Nellie, Our cold snap has gone on longer than first predicted. The sun is trying to shine today, did not at all yesterday. The wind is blowing the snow so badly, one can't see very far. Hope you are enjoying some home time. xoxo,Susie

    Susie, please bundle up, it sounds so cold where you live. It's been pretty cold here too, but no snow. I have to go to the mountains, about an hour away, to see the snow. The flower pictures are just what we need today. :~)

    love, ~Sheri

    Yes, Susie I miss those bright colors during these cold Winter days, but it does make you look forward to Spring flowers.
    Cold here, although gratefully no snow.
    Stay warm and cozy my friend !

    Most of us are experiencing the extreme cold but I as you wonder about the southern states. This doesn't happen very often down there. It's about 17 degrees as I write this.
    Think spring.
