I awoke this morning to find myself buried under blankets and Laney snuggled right next to me. I peeped my head out from under the covers and it was very cold in the room. I looked up to see if there were ice cycles hanging from the ceiling. LOL! In about a 24 hour period the temperature went from 80 degrees down to 28 degrees. I looked out the window and said," yuck". There it was again a winter wonderland. It looked like there was about two inches of the white fluffy snow on the ground. The only good thing was the beautiful sunshine. The high today is suppose to be 39 degrees. The weather station was predicting wind chills in the twenties. Thank goodness I didn't pack away the winter coat. What happened to spring, baseball and fun in the sun?
It is hard to believe that over the weekend we were out working in the yard getting our flower beds ready for beautiful flowers. I planted pansies in pots for the front porch. Thank goodness I brought them inside last night. We actually mowed the grass for the first time and visited with neighbors who we had not seen all winter. Everybody was outside enjoying a preview of spring and today everyone has retreated back into their caves. LOL! It is suppose to warm back up by the end of the week.
Laney was in shock as I opened the door this morning to let her out. She did not want to go out, so I had to chase her in the house and pick her up and put her out. She is so spoiled and loves the comfort of the house.
I am sitting here smiling, as I am waiting for a phone call from my husband. I know the first thing out of his mouth will be that the house felt like a meat locker this morning. I am laughing because I had turned on the air conditioner this weekend, as the upstairs was very hot. So, as the temperatures fell last night the heat did not come on. It was a balmy 59 degrees this morning in the house. I'll remind him that at least it was warmer in the house than outside. LOL! I have to admit that it is cold and the furnace is now on.
I just heard that there will be a hard freeze tonight. So we can kiss the spring flowers goodbye and only hope that this was the last of the snow. Where did you go spring? Please come back and stay awhile. Hope everyone has a blessed day no matter what season it is.
Life is beautiful !!
