“I recall looking out the window at Redbuds, Dogwoods, Daffodils, Irises and Pom-Pom bushes, knowing exactly what Heaven must look like: a spring day in Kentucky.”

Pittsburgh . PA

This was back in 2013...I have mentioned that I'm going through my archives...my computer is so low on memory right now so I just keep deleting photos that I should have deleted years ago to try and free up more space...it's making me not even want to get out and take pictures because I have no storage space to download them :( I really need to fix this situation ASAP!

On another note, we have a snow day today! Crazy weather! I went to pick up Dalton from work at 10 last night and it had started snowing while I was waiting for him...it was fun and we stopped at Kroger to pick up a few things for their "snow day"...wasn't really concerned about the roads because the weather people have been saying it's not going to stick on the roads, just grassy areas like our last snow...finished shopping and the parking lot was covered in snow when we came outside! The roads were awful trying to get back home...I slid a few times but thankfully no other vehicles were near me...I'm not going to lie, it was a little troubling!

First day of spring ha!!

Greenfield . Botetourt County

The other day I took the boys out to practice their driving skills when we drove by this tree and I yelled "Stop the car, I need a picture of this shadow!" They don't mind obliging me since they get to practice their driving...at least right now ;)

Current situation...this is my neighbor's house behind me...I wonder why they aren't picnicking on the picnic table today? ;) I think we have ended up with about an inch but our temps won't be above freezing today so this won't be going anywhere! It's not a very pretty snow since you can see the grass poke up out of it...need about another inch! We did end up with a snow day though and probably will get one tomorrow, or at least a delay because of the icy roads...what did you end up with? :)

1502 Longwood Ave . Bedford

One of the old originals with no eat in area inside and only serving ice cream, like they are meant to do! Saw some whiny reviews on Yelp that they don't serve burgers or hot dogs at this location...that little fact makes a winner in my book...seems so many places just keep adding to their menus and forget what made them successful in the first place.

Reminds me of a summer when I was a kid. We went to Staples, MN where my mom's favorite Aunt and Uncle lived, Aunt Charlotte and Uncle Bill...my mom spent a lot of time when she was a kid at their house...every night after dinner, we'd sit out in the front yard and then we'd all walk down to the Dairy Queen, it was my Uncle Bill's thing, every night...of course I never complained :) That was in the 70's and probably looked much like this one, although I don't really remember much about it now!

Blue Ridge . Botetourt County

Yesterday the boys and I went for a little walk...We walked over to the bridge on the Blue Ridge Parkway, then followed the Parkway to the next bridge and got off and walked back home...in all it was probably just a mile or 2...I don't know...it was cold though...my face was frozen by the time we got back in the house!

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas...sorry I wasn't here for Willy Nilly Friday...was swamped! Now today's task, get the house back in order!

65 is going to be our high today! As much as I want some snow, I'm also pretty excited for a warm, pretty day! The boys came home from school early with me yesterday since they don't have practice this week and we started hauling out the Christmas decorations...Maybe I can get that finished up today!

Have a great day :)

"I loved growing up in a little town. I loved knowing people. I loved going to the store and running into people. I loved going into the store and having forgotten my bag, saying, 'Charge it, put it on my bill.' I loved going to the gas station and saying, 'Pete, fill it up.' I loved that continuity of life."

Old SW Roanoke

See that thingy up on the top of the house? Isn't it neat? It was hard to get a good view with all these darn power lines and I didn't want to appear to be a stalker by standing right in front of their house to get a pic haha...have a great day! It's feeling like fall around here...a little brisk start this morning!
