THIS PICTURE IS FOR SUE
SUE, THIS IS THE ONLY HEAD VASE I OWN
SHE IS BEAUTIFUL SHADES OF GREEN WITH SMALL
GOLD TRIM.
PLEASE, IF YOU LOVE HEAD VASES, VISIT THE
LOVELY SUE
AT
SHE HAS A BEAUTIFUL COLLECTION.
MAY I INTRODUCE YOU TO THE LOVE OF MY
LIFE FOR 40 YEARS.
HIS BEARD IS A LOT SHORTER NOW.
MR. SIMPLY WENT AROUND WITH HIS PINK
CAMERA CAPTURING THE TIMES AS THE
SNOW HAMMERED US.
WE RECEIVED
12 INCHES.
OUR K MART HAD 6 FOOT
SNOW DRIFTS AND WAL MART
WHO CLOSES FOR NOTHING HAD
8 SNOW PLOWS IN THEIR PARKING
LOT CREATING 9 FOOT SNOW PILES
THAT PROBABLY WILL NOT MELT
UNTIL APRIL.
KANSAS ALSO GOT HAMMERED...
AS WELL AS ARKANSAS.
WE RECEIVED THE MOST IN OUR
STATE ACCORDING TO THE
WEATHER MAN BUT I HEARD
OF 22 INCHES IN A LITTLE TOWN
25 MILES FROM US. IT WASN'T
VERIFIED HOW EVER.
LET'S JUST SAY THERE WERE 60
STATES AFFECTED FROM SNOW
AND ICE, THAT NORMALLY DO
NOT RECEIVE SNOW AND ICE.
BEFORE WE GET STARTED WITH MANY PICTURES
OF SNOW, I SAW THIS PICTURE OF MEGAN, MY
BEAUTIFUL DIL AND MY HANDSOME, ONLY
SON, RICHIE.
THEY WERE HAMMERED WITH SNOW ON
2/09/11.
THIS POST IS ON THURSDAY
2/10/11
MY RICHIES' BIRTHDAY IS
IN JUST 2 DAYS.
DADDY AND I LOVE YOU SO
MUCH RICHIE AND WE ARE SO
VERY PROUD OF YOU.
SO I KNOW THEY ARE NOT INTERESTED IN
PICTURES OF SNOW...THEY LIVED IT LIKE EVERY
ONE ELSE...IT IS REALLY MEGAN'S FAULT. SHE
GREW UP IN MESA, ARIZONA, AND WANTED TO
SEE SNOW.
BE CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR MEGAN...LOL
THIS IS THE SNOW BLOWING IN AT 11:22 PM ON
2/08/11.
MR. SIMPLY TOOK MANY PICTURES OF OUR ANGEL
THAT STANDS GUARD FAITHFULLY OVER OUR
PURPLE AND WHITE CLEMATIS.
I LOVE ANGELS AND HAVE THEM OUTSIDE AS
WELL AS INSIDE.
HERE IS MISS ANGEL GETTING HAMMERED
FROM THE SNOW.
THAT IS HOW WE SHOULD BE IN DARK TIMES...
"WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED BY OUR CIRCUMSTANCES
AND KEEP OUR EYES ON THE LORD...AND WHEN WE
ARE DOWN TO HAVE PEOPLE SPEAK THE WORD
OVER US.
TETE AT THE GARDEN GATE IS ONE OF THESE
AWESOME PEOPLE.
THIS IS OUR OUTSIDE TABLE AS THE SNOW
COLLECTS
THIS IS OUR KOI FISH POND. THEY ARE
MR. SIMPLY'S BABIES. HE HAS FAITHFULLY
TAKEN CARE OF THEM FOR 5 YEARS.
THEY HAVE NAMES AND WHEN THE TEMP IS
BELOW 40, YOU DON'T FEED THEM DUE TO
THEIR VERY SLOW CIRCULATION
THE SNOW IS PILING UP....
IF YOU LOOK CLOSE THROUGH THE BLOWING
SNOW MISS ANGEL HAS SNOW ALMOST TO
HER CHEST.
MR. SIMPLY SHOT THIS OUT OUR BEDROOM
WINDOW AND YOU CAN SEE HOW HIGH THE SNOW
IS ON OUR OUTSIDE TABLE...UNBELIEVABLE
YOU CAN NO LONGER SEE MISS ANGEL AND
OUR BIRD FEEDER IS ALMOST COVERED UP.
NOW LOOK HOW MUCH SNOW IS ON
MR. SIMPLY'S FISH POND.
THIS IS AN OVERVIEW OF HOW HIGH THE SNOW
CLIMBED ON THE TABLE, FISH POND, AND VIEW
OF THE YARD. IT WAS TAKEN THROUGH THE STORM
DOOR AS THE TEMP WAS 7 DEGREES.
NO LONGER CAN SEE LITTLE MISS ANGEL.
YOU CAN SEE THE SNOW HANGING OFF OUR
NEIGHBOR'S HOUSE ON THE EAST OF US.
THIS IS THE ROOF OF THE NEIGHBOR TO THE
WEST OF US.
THIS IS OUR NEIGHBOR ACROSS THE STREET.
MR. SIMPLY TOOK IT FROM OUR FRONT PORCH.
AS YOU CAN TELL OUR STREET IS A MAIN ROAD
AND YOU CANNOT SEE THE CURBS AND NO ONE
HAS BEEN DOWN IT...BY THIS TIME OF THE MORNING
IT WOULD BE LIKE GRAND CENTRAL STATION....AND OUR
NEIGHBOR HAS A DRIVEWAY THAT GOES UP HILL AND
IT LOOKS FLAT BY THE SNOW.
THIS IS OUR CAR IN THE DRIVE WAY. YOU
CAN SEE THE SIDE STREET AND THE SNOW IS
ALL THE WAY UP TO HER FENCE...NO CURB
TO BE FOUND. OUR DRIVE WAY ALSO HAS AN
INCLINE AND IT IS UP TO THE BACK OF OUR
CAR.
I LOVE THIS PICTURE...THE COLOR OF THE
SKY IN THE BACKGROUND AND THE SNOW
HANGING OFF THE ROOF.
MORE SNOW HANGING OFF THE ROOF.
THIS IS THE PATH MR. SIMPLY SHOVELED FOR OUR DOGS.
THIS OUR DAUGHTER'S CHIHUAHUA, ROMEO THAT WE
ADOPTED WHEN SHE WENT HOME TO JESUS.
THIS IS A PICTURE OF HOBO AND LITTLE
GREY. THEY ARE LOOKING OUT THE HOUSE
MR. SIMPLY MADE FOR THEM. THEY ARE
FERAL CATS BUT THEY STAY IN OUR BACKYARD.
THEY HAVE A LIGHT IN THEIR HOUSE AND WE
KEEP A WORK LIGHT THAT GETS VERY WARM
SETTING ON THE STEP OF OUR HOUSE TO KEEP
THEM WARM AND THEIR FOOD DOESN'T FREEZE.
WE ALSO FIX WARM FOOD FOR THEM TWICE
A DAY.
LITTLE GREY WON'T COME IN THE HOUSE AND
HOBO DOESN'T HAVE POTTY MANNERS.
THIS IS A CLOSEUP OF ROMEO. HE IS SO BLACK
HE JUST DOES NOT PHOTOGRAPH...HE USUALLY
WEARS CLOTHES BUT HE DIDN'T WANT TO WEAR
HIS SWEATER YESTERDAY.
AS YOU CAN TELL, THE BACK OF ROOF'S BEHIND
US HAVE VERY LITTLE SNOW...IT IS ALL ON THE
FRONT OF THEIR HOUSE.
THIS IS ANOTHER PICTURE OF THE ROOF AND
THE BACK OF OUR HOUSE.
THE BACK DOOR LEADS TO OUR SUN ROOM...THIS
IS GOING TO BECOME MY STUDIO...WE USE TO
JUST SPEND THE NIGHT OUT THERE TO WATCH TV
BUT NOW WE SPEND IT IN THE OFFICE.
THE STUDIO WILL REALLY LOOK NICE BECAUSE
TWO WALLS ARE BRICK.
THANK YOU MY SWEET HUBBY FOR JOINING ME ON
THIS POST. THANK YOU FOR CAPTURING OUR SNOW
OVER THE TIME PERIOD THAT IT KEPT BLOWING.
TODAY, 2/10/11
OUR TEMP IS
-19 DEGREES (THAT IS NOT NATURAL)
AND WE ARE ONE OF THE WARMER PARTS
OF THE STATE.
WE HAVE NOT SAW TEMPERATURES THIS FRIGID
IN A FEW YEARS.

Those snow pictures are something else. The ones with the angel statue and the blowing snow are gorgeous. Hope you all stay safe and warm.
That is just unbelievable! I'm glad you stayed warm.
Now since you've been snowed in, have you cranked up that sewing machine?
Wow! Simply Wow! Stay warm! Ann
Oh, Debbie, did you ever get hammered! The one good thing about snow is that it has to melt sometime. We aren't as cold, just -2 last night for a low. My DH works out in it- I don't know how- every day.
This time next week the weatherman said we will be in the 50s here. Can the beginning of spring be only a week away? It's been a hard, weird winter
for everyone.
You are so sweet to mention me in your post.
Hugs- Tete
Hi Debbie!
Wow that is some snow!! We are used to it here in ski country, but I'm sure that is something you didn't expect. It is also warmer here 12 degrees above zero.
Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments they really made my day. I am trying to be more regular with my blogging. Sometimes I just get so busy with my family that weeks go by and I have written nothing:( I have figured out that if I get up and blog when my husband leaves for work at 5am I have a hour and a half of uninteruptted time before the kids get up. This is working for me for now. I hope that that will bring more people to my blog. Any other ideas will be appriciated.
Hope you come by again soon.
:) Michelle
wow - your snow looks worse than what we got last week! 12 inches here - I wanted to thank you for stopping by and your kind words about the passing of a great lady, mentor and artist! I truly appreciate it.
hugs, dana
Oh my gosh, awesome snow pictures. We only got a dusting here in my part of Mississippi. I am so glad to see you taking care of the wild animals-they are God's creatures too.
These snow pictures are a good reminder to me how lucky we were in our area. Hope yours starts to melt but with the temps you are having that is not likely. Hope there has not been trouble with roofs caving in under the weight of the snow.
Debbie, my being on your list of reward recipents means a lot to me and made my day. I do hope you will understand that I no longer participate with these for a variety of reasons. One is that I have great trouble deciding to whom to pass it to. That is really a difficult thing for me to do.
I congratulate you, you more than deserve it.
I do pause and say a prayer for those on your list.
Your snow photos are amazing. We had very little compared to what you had. Of course, the wind blew all ours to Oklahoma, so that may account for such a small amount. I am totally impressed by the photos. They sure made the point.
Thank you so much for stopping by my OWOH post and leaving such wonderful comments. I am honored to have my button on your blog - thank you!
I am sorry your family suffered the loss of your daughter. Your blog is full of light and hope though - which is wonderful.
Janet, Honey from the Bee, #64
