WHAT HAPPENED TO SPRING?

Is this really March in Kentucky?

Yesterday when I was out running errands I noticed how many trees were blossoming and starting to leaf out.

This morning I woke up to this.

Ten inches of snow.

More snow than we had for the rest of the winter combined.

I dread seeing what this weather has done to the blossoming trees.

At least it won't be around for long. It will be back up to possibly 70 degrees by this coming up weekend.

Until then I think I will be hibernating.

I NEED TO BORROW SOME WATER WINGS

Rain rain go away

Little Laura wants to play

Rain rain go away

I am happy it isn't snow, but when I was startled out of a sound sleep at 4:30 this morning with a National Weather Emergency alert I wasn't happy. My first thought was that we were having a tornado and I was ready to head for cover, but then they said it was a flood warning. Really!!! Do I look like I am out driving in the middle of the night. SIGH!!!

It was then I heard a steady plunk, plunk, plunk that sounded suspiciously like it was in my bedroom. Feeling quite certain that I was mistaken I rolled over and tried to get back to sleep. That was when I heard something hit my blinds. With one eye open I turned on a light and saw that the frame above the window was leaking and plaster was falling off. That was the end of sleeping. SIGH!!!

I'm thinking I might need that row boat I featured in my last post here, as it rained 5" overnight and is supposed to rain the rest of the day. Or maybe I could dig out those thirty year old water wings my children used to wear. Surely they would keep me afloat.

Seems like a good day for making mud pies and building dams in the gutter. Did anyone else do that when they were kids. We didn't need a lot of fancy toys back then. Nature provided us with plenty of resources for creative play.

Maybe I need a nap before I think about heading out. Then I can look around for some water wings, a snorkel, and oxygen tanks. (I'll need the oxygen after digging around in the garage).

Hope everyone has a wonderful Good Friday. Stay dry wherever you are.
