With snow on the ground, fog is always a sure sign of rising temperatures. And so it was this morning when Pheebs and I slipped out of the Park and headed ourselves into Bayfield. A quick swing down around the harbor and it was off to the cemetery for a walk. Using the Jeep, I widened the already existing snowy tire tracks and that made for easier walking on the cemetery roads. Pheebs was running around like a little racehorse.

Home again, and finally fully recovered from my poor Tuesday night's sleep, I was soon outside looking for any little reason to help along the coming of Spring. It's more of a psychological thing for me and with sunshine flooding into our yard it was mentally for sure an early Spring boost. However, and there always seems to be a however we are already under a weather advisory for late Friday. Apparently, a 'Texas Low' is heading our way packing another snow whallup for the weekend!! |

No matter how bad our winter weather gets now it doesn't matter much anymore because we have crossed over winter's peak and are fast tumbling down the other side of the mountain into Spring's waiting arms. Old Man Winter can do what he will now but it's a losing battle for him with each passing day. With sunshine in our front yard this afternoon, I slipped outside and took a few encouraging pictures of what will soon be on our doorstep.  |

GROANER'S CORNER:(( An archaeologist was digging in the Negev Desert in Israel and came upon a casket containing a mummy, a rather rare occurrence in Israel, to say the least. After examining it, he called Abe, the curator of the Israel museum in Jerusalem. "I've just discovered a 3,000-year-old mummy of a man who died of heart failure!" the excited scientist exclaimed. Abe replied, "Bring him in. We'll check it out." A week later, the amazed Abe called the archaeologist. "You were right about both the mummy's age and cause of death. How in the world did you know?" "Easy. There was a piece of paper in his hand that said, '10,000 Shekels on Goliath'."------------------------------------
In these parts it was an Arizona low, and it just now blew through. Tornado warnings, etc, but it was quick and zoomed right on east, at least here in central TX. It will probably be a nasty one. So it will sweep toward the north and bring you a bit of unwanted activity too? At least we got some rain out of it in my town. That's always needed around here. Those cemetery trees are just magnificent, as always, and I'm glad to see Pheebs in fine fettle.
ReplyDeleteLovely Miss Pheebs is the highlight of your post tonight, Al. Such a sweetie.
ReplyDeleteWell I think our mountain village has you beat of snow this winter, From a week ago Wednesday to this Wednesday we received 99 inches of snow, had blizzard conditions and flash flood warning. Roads have not been plowed and in general it's a mess. Our Governor signed a State of Emergency for our County yesterday so help is on the way (supposedly). I am looking forward to the 100 degree days of summer.
Holy Smokes Arrowhead Gramma, you must be in California.
DeleteYes I am right in the middle of it all. The National Weather Service has now upgraded our snow amount here to 109 inches from the 99 inches previously. Our village is literally closed down and I along with so many others are snowed in. Haven't seen another person in eleven days and waiting for our road to be plowed like everyone else. All in good time - well stocked, have heat, water and electricity - good too.
DeleteLove your rock collection pic..... looks like a polar bear laying down!
ReplyDeleteHow lovely story with nice photos... Spring has to be best, but I am totally sure most of us will miss the winter as well..
ReplyDeleteGood to see Pheebs enjoying the winter outings. You did not miss much this winter in the southwest. Damp and cold has had hold here for two months. As you, I am waiting for warm weather to return. Luckily, here it will warm to the 70s tomorrow. Finally.
ReplyDeleteLoving Al’s Music Box! Down memory lane, my kind of tunes.
