Weekend.....................

Was it Ben Franklin that decided day-light savings time was a good idea??


Well...............let me tell you Ben.........i don't have enough hours on the weekends, as it is....................now you guys in the government are taking one away from me!!


I know.....i know ........ i'll get it back in the fall........................

but, by then ....i'll be toooooo tired to enjoy it.....................!

Bright and spring like here today....highs in the 60's, no rain or snow in the forecast.........Woo...Woo.....Farm's Market here i come......then Ingels, then feed store, then post office, then WalMart, then library, then...................???

Hay Ben!!.....i really need to talk to you......................

ahhhhh..........??

Had absolutely nothing of interest to post about today.......so as i was cruising thru the male child pictures ....i found this one.........What is it??.....a cosmic shower?.........swamp gas?.......illuminating fish in the quarry......i had no idea........went in search of the kid.....

This is what ensued:


Me.....what is this?


Him.... oh yeah......neat isn't it.....


Me..... what is this?


Him.....Oh...i took that one night..... about midnight......when it was really cold and windy.....


Me.....what is it?

Him......I didn't have a jacket on......my hands must have been shaking....


Me..... WHAT IS IT!!


Him......oh you don't reconize it?


Me.......NO........what is it!!??


Him........that's the Lewis house at the bottom of the hill.......you know that MOM.......

So the first picture is the cold, windy. midnight, security lights on...view of this!!

I should have known.......i think this kid maybe an alien.......

Thankful Thursday

Look Mom........it's the Sun.......................!!!

This Thursday ....i'm thankful we had one last snow and that it was a "big" one........still lots of the white stuff piled-up along the sides of the roads and the parking lots look like a winter festival that's been over for a few days.....................but, it's starting to get dirty and look like ....ugh!!

Temps will be in the 50's today....so maybe the ugly gray stuff on the top will melt away and the spring flowers will start to peek out soon.........

Have a great day..........i'm off to the mountain park!!

Winter Wonderland.....

Still in the "Winter Wonderland" mode.........temps in the high 40's today!

I'm ready for spring...................how '"bout you??

Another holiday........

Another holiday i forgot.........

I try to change the decor around the house to fit the holiday or season...also to chase away the boredom's.........and yesterday as i was sitting home watching the snow melt...i remembered St. Patrick's Day.........soooo whipped up these place mats from some stuff i found in my stash.........i must have thought of St. P's day at some point...cause i had shamrocks!!!


Cute.......i like'm....................now my mom will want some........................

Made it to work today.......but, my 30 minute drive took me 90 minutes.......6 miles of solid ice.....tryed to turn around twice......it was easier to go forward ....... God Bless 4x4's!!!

Sun is out and ice is melting fast.......we may get up to 30* today........and if you can believe it... high 60's or even 70 by this weekend.... already had calls inquiring if the campgrounds will be open this weekend!!

Hey.....my idea of roughing it ....is Holiday Inn without room service!!!!.....Maybe...i'm in the wrong business!!??....forget it....can't make me leave......i love my rangers, the crew and the parks!!!

Enjoy your day.......................................

Hi Ho....Hi Ho.....!!

It's off to work i go.........Not!!

Today was supposed to be my first day back to work........but, Ashe County is closed down......necessary(what's that?) traffic only.........don't think we'll have too many campers today!!

Here's what it looks like from the front porch today......................

Beautiful..................................

Stay safe and warm........................

Home at last.......

Made it to the airport and back safely......."Thank you, Lord.........drove thru the mountain pass as they were closing highway 421 to all traffic......setting up barriers as we came by........!!

I'd like to kiss who ever invented 4-wheel drive....cars and tractor trailers all over the road......having a 4x4 is the reason the highway guys let us go thru......

This is what it looks like outside right now................7 inches and still falling....wonder if my brother brought this from south Florida with him!!??
