Now....The Rest of the Story

Good Afternoon Everyone...


I sent out, this morning, my First Day of Spring Story showing all the wonders of this beautiful season but, in reality, I should have sent you this one.  It seems like Mother Nature has other plans for the foothills at this time.  I know she hasn't forgotten us but, I think, she is just dallying along the path and will arrive in her own sweet time.






It is said that good things come to those who wait, so, Mother Nature, I am waiting..and..waiting..and..waiting!


There are some of us that don't mind the wait and are enjoying  a good roll in the snow.


And, still, Happy Spring Day...Now, you know the rest of the story..Judy

    wow snow!
    It is in the 80's today and leaves are multiplying
    on the trees like hangers in a closet!
    Stay warm and keep thinking spring!
    Oh... and please keep the snow to you side of the US!

    Judy,
    I truly wish for a little of winter. Georgia rarely gets snow. I like the cold. It was 86 today! A little too much heat for Spring. But I am happy for the sunshine.
    Thanks for your sweet comments and for following me.

      Well, I don't know if I'm ready for 86 degrees yet but a LITTLE warmth would be nice. I am happy for sunshine (even the liquid kind) too..Happy Spring..Judy

      It's just me. I removed this comment because, for some reason it got out of order. So I didn't get some nasty business!! Judy

      Hey Val: I guess I didn't get my thoughts across properly. I even read it to Jerry and he didn't get what I meant. I didn't get anything nasty. What happened was that I was answering DeeDee's comments and evidently another comment came in to me at the same time so my answer to DeeDee didn't get placed in the right spot. So I deleted it and rewrote it, but I thought the whole thing would go away. So do you know if there is any way to get rid of the whole thing? Hope I have been more clear in explaining...And thank you for your special comments to me. I always appreciate and enjoy seeing them..Judy

    I guess because we live 95% with sunshine it makes you wish for snow! Love your images. I am always so excited to find and follow new special places. I have no doubt I will enjoy engaging and supporting this wonderful space you have created. Thank you for sharing, I am so glad to meet you. I hope you will find some time to come visit me soon.

      Thea: Yes she will. It was really pretty but has all melted as of today. Maybe we'll have rain on Friday, if it gets cold enough it will snow again. Oh, well..Happy Spring...Judy

    Hey Sis, All your photographs are wonderful! Well, guess I'm glad to be here in Az cause it is all sunshine! Love the snow too, but I know it would just be COLD at my house. Will be anxious to see what progress my contractor will have made when I get home. Meg left me a roast in the Crock Pot. She told me when it would be done, and it just dawned on me I think I have OVER-COOKED it! Is that possible? For me, I guess so!

    The little photo on the side margin--the one that is the side of a building with the word 'ANTIQUES' on it--that looks like Drytown to me! Is it? Usually they have a string of old chairs around that lawn area.

    Love your site! Sid

    Hi Sid: Yep, that's Drytown. I think the shop was closed when we went by. It's pretty hard to overcook in the Crock-Pot unless you leave it on for a couple of days!! Could that be the problem? Glad you had a safe trip to AZ. See you when you get back..Love, J
