Snow...

This is what I saw when I came home on Friday....

Remember what I said about snow in South Carolina a few weeks ago? Hah, very funny, Mother Nature. I do not appreciate your wishy washy ways....50 degrees one day but snow the next?
Not to mention that thanks to you, my poor husband had to drive home in your foul weather and put his truck in a huge ditch. He had to crawl out the window to get out and stand out in all your white wickedness waiting for someone to rescue him!
Don't worry too much, folks...
He's OK and we got the truck out this afternoon. It still drives but the alignment is wrecked and we are hoping the axle is not bent.

Needless to say, Gandy thought it was all fun and games...



I did not get out in this mess, once I got home Friday. Did I mention that I hate snow? Carl had cabin fever after about 6 hours in the house but where could he go? His truck was on a 45 degree angle!
I did get some beautiful shots of the trees, as the sun was coming over the house. I thought this one looked like a stained glass window...

OK, so maybe I jinxed us by hanging this flag a few weeks ago. Note to self....Throw this flag in the trash!
When I did venture outside just to have a look see, I saw the neighbor's horses eating the snow off the branches of the bushes...

Thankfully dear ole' Mother Nature did not punish us too long, by evening Saturday most of the snow was gone but there was still ice on some of the roads this afternoon. Goodbye snow, hope to see you........NEVER!

PROOF THAT IT CAN SNOW IN SOUTH CAROLINA!
Those are Faith's finger prints in the snow, although she wasn't a fan of the feeling!
I know most of you are all laughing your heads off at our massive amounts of snow! But where we live is at the base of the Blue Ridge Mountains with 3 man made hydro lakes all around us. I think this makes for some odd weather. Just 40 minutes away, they got over 12 inches of snow and just 20 minutes away they got several inches! Funny how that works...Believe me, I am NOT complaining! I am NOT a fan of snow but it cracks me up because every time they warn of impending snow doom, everyone runs out and buys bread and milk. You know the first two things to go bad! I won't drive in it so I just stay home. So this was all the white stuff we saw on Saturday.
WARNING: They are warning of impending doom again this weekend so if you live in S.C. you better get to the store!


This is miss Lilly, the stray that wandered up after a neighbor's house fire, last summer. I don't think she had ever seen snow before. She wanted to get off the table but she was afraid to put her paws in the snow! It was so funny!
