I think that's heading our way. Only good thing about it is I can post my poem from last year about how Spring is playing a joke on us.

Kat

Did I invite you to the meme?

Jeannelle, this is so sucky! lol...We have got a rain/sleety mix right now. We were gonna get 3-6, now down to 1-2. I was able to get to church and home before it started thank the Lord. Hope you have a wonderful holy week, and Easter if I don't get a chance to say that next week!

Leenie said...

Well, that storm didn't lose its kick traveling across the country! We had a blizzard Friday and real sunshine today. Hope the good weather makes it as well.

Deb said...

just because the calendar says it's spring, doesn't necessarilry mean much!

We haven't got the snow YET! The weather report kinda thought all north of Rt. 30 would get more then the rest of us south of Rt. 30. Right now we are having rain showers and it's a bit windy, but they are predicting it will turn to snow before the night is over. I will just have to wait and see.

We are supposed to freeze for two nights so there go all the fruit! No plums, no apples, no pears, no peaches, no cherries, no figs.

This time I hope the weather man is wrong but temps are dropping quickly.

Oh dear, I'll bet this is heading my way.

The hard freeze is supposed to move in here tonight. As Gail said above.. there goes the fruit! I don't think we're supposed to get snow this far south, but it will be very, very cold -- at least for central Arkansas!

Hi, Kat,

That's sounds like the perfect poem for today! When April brings snow, that does seem like trickery of some sort.

Hi, Sherry,

I'm glad you were able to get to church and back Ok. My vehicle was covered in snow when I got out of church. But, we know this snow shouldn't stay around very long, so that's good.

You have a blessed Holy Week, too! I always look forward to Good Friday service.....don't know why, but its favorite of the year.

********

Hi, Leenie,

That is good news.....sunshine! Send lots of it our way (but keep plenty for yourselves, too)!

********

Hi, Deb,

You're correct about that. I hope you're having nice weather in Georgia. I still going to work on the blog wrappers. Got to find an uninterrupted piece of time to do that. I really appreciate the info!

Hi, Gramma Ann,

I hope the snow misses you and maybe it will. It has stopped here now, but every now and then I hear rain hitting the windows.

********

Oh, Gail....that's awful. I hope that doesn't happen. Am sending up prayers right now!

******

Hi, Ruth,

Could be, but I hope not. Maybe you will just get rain. Thanks for stopping in!

Hi, Pat,

Oh, that's such a sad thought....all the fruit buds being lost. That's terrible. I'm praying it won't happen.
