Brrrrrrrrr........

Need I say more? We have descended into a deep freeze here in Kentucky. From the national weather reports, I see that it is not nearly as cold as many states farther north, but, we, in the south, don't care for this frigid weather. As summer is my favorite time of year, you know that I am not thrilled to look at my calendar and see, at least, another six weeks of January and February. Please, March, hurry up.

The sun did make a brief appearance yesterday afternoon, I think it was about six to eight minutes worth. This morning, it peeked through the grey sky momentarily. It's nice to have those briefest hints of what we will eventually see more and more of with the coming months. It is encouraging to have daylight hours stretching a bit into evening. It would be nicer still if the temps were above the teens.

As a Kentucky resident, and UK fan, I was also pleased to see the sun shining, so to speak, on our lead scorer, Jodie Meeks, last night in Knoxville. He was amazing, to say the least. That certainly warmed our collective hearts in this otherwise freezing time of year. We look forward to more of that in the days and weeks to come as well.

The snow that fell yesterday makes deer watching all the more enjoyable. Whereas the deer are always camoflauged in the woods that go down, then uphill behind our house, now the are easily seen as they make their way through the trees. After watching nine doe and little ones compete for the corn yesterday; it was entertaining to see them run uphill and downhill as they playfully charged through the snowy woods. I see bear hunting is being arranged in three Kentucky counties....so far I haven't seen any bear. I'll let you know if I do.

I hope you are staying warm and safe this week. My reunion planning has been put on hold due to the weather and phone /computer problems. But, that's still on my list of things to get accomplished soon. Have a great day, luv, Susan
