We got snow (and sleet and ice) on Christmas day and before it could all melt, we got more (rather unexpectedly!) on Friday. Shiloh was absolutely nuts about it. His people? Not so much. The cats weren’t impressed, either. This is Elizabeth, or “Lizzie”. She came out with me while I walked Shiloh but she…
Photo-A-Day Challenge: Day 25 “Morning”
It was a rather quiet Christmas day for us. Chris was with Kadi at her mom’s house in the city. Lisa and Justin took advantage of a little window of opportunity before the roads got bad and came over for waffles, mimosas and a quick game and then made it back home just as the…
I want my summer back!
We’ve had such nice warm temperatures but this morning we woke up to this: Not only did we have snow but Chris didn’t park his car parallel to mine. I wasn’t sure if I could go on but I made it through the day. And this was our temperature this morning: Nature is confused. Fall…
A Day of Winter in Oklahoma
I was thinking we might just skip winter here in Oklahoma this year. After last winter I was perfectly happy with that possibility. However, Ol’ Man Winter dropped in for a visit last night and left us with a dusting of snow. Fortunately we didn’t get the usual freezing rain/sleet/ice first. Just some nice, fluffy…
Here we go again…
We are expecting 6 to 10 inches of snow tonight and tomorrow. Oh, joy. I was finally able to get out today for the first time since last Sunday. We still have snow on the ground. This is not acceptable. That is all. Goodnight.
And so it continues…
More snow today. Another chance of snow Saturday night. And Sunday. And Sunday night. And Tuesday. David gave up on work around noon today and dropped Chris off in town at a friend’s house. I think he’d had enough togetherness with his parents this week and was looking for a bit more entertaining company. I’d…
The Winter of My Discontent
All I can say is that it’s a darn good thing that groundhog didn’t see his shadow. Rain turning to sleet turning to ice turning to snow. That was the story here. Oh, and I mustn’t forget the frigid temperatures and high winds. Blizzard conditions in southeastern Oklahoma? Not exactly the norm. I tried to…
Snow day…
This is why I stayed home today: Doesn’t look like much to my readers in Northern climes but it was doggone cold for this California girl. Okay, so I’ve lived in Oklahoma 30 years but I swear my cold tolerance level is still set for Southern California. In lieu of nice weather, at least we…
I’m not amused…
This is a screen shot from my phone. This is our weather prediction. This is totally unacceptable. I’m supposed to help oversee the serving of lunch at United Campus Ministry tomorrow. I was also supposed to attend a prayer meeting for the UCM board tomorrow night but that’s been postponed due to the weather. I…
