Looking across the hill from the upstairs deck. It was so pretty this morning!
Looking down the driveway from upstairs!

Alright! I've had enough snow for a while! I don't do the cold very well but if it MUST be cold, then it might as well snow! When my sister and I were very young, it snowed really hard one year in Mississippi! I remember mama bundling us up all warm and then she sat us at the window and her and daddy threw snowballs at us! I never quite figured that one out! She SWEARS that NEVER happened but it did and it scarred me for life! If any of you wonder why I am the way that I am.......well......NOW YOU KNOW! It's my mama's fault! I still get teary eyed at the sight of snow and for some reason, I just stand at the window and look out at it! Must be some deep seated, emotional trauma in my sub conscience! I AM exaggerating a little bit because my mama and daddy were/are the greatest! I suppose if she did that then she must have been afraid we would get sick. OR, maybe we were already sick and she didn't want us in the cold getting sicker. Who knows.......OH YEAH.....speaking of mama......lemme tell ya another one......I have had a mole on my mid back as long as I can remember and as a child playing in the woods, as I always did, I would get redbugs on me. One time one bedded up beside that mole and it began to get bigger and bigger! I didn't know what the heck soooo.....I asked mama what it was! She replied, You're just growing a third "BOOB" on your back!" DO WHAT!?!?! Little did she know, I believed EACH & EVERY word that came out of her mouth and walked away in a state of shock! Of course she was joking and thought I realized it, but I didn't! I worried and fretted and lost sleep over the thought of what was happening to me! How would I ever go out in public? How would I ever get a boyfriend? How would I ever find a bra that fit? Maybe I could join the circus! OH ME! Well....as you've probably already figured, it didn't happen. At some point and time mama dug the redbug out and I went back to eating and sleeping normally again. I'm not sure how I managed to get grown without having to be on medication! I LOVE picking on my mama! Stay tuned and I'll tell you some even better stories later on........Maybe I should write my memoirs...."The Life & Times of Sheila Burt" Hmmm......? Kinda catchy huh?
God bless.....
