A cold and frosty morning here on the mountain the day before Valentine's Day. The weather is more mixed up than some of us. With its up-and-down temps all over the place it's hard to know how to dress for the day. Oh well, we'll survive the wardrobe changes until the weather settles down and warmer air returns to stay for a while.
Weather people are predicting severe weather on Saturday for us. Heavy rainfall, high winds, and hail a good possibility overnight. By next Wednesday we may get an accumulating snow of several inches that will stick around for a while with temperatures in the 20's and 30's for daytime highs and teens to single digits at night. Schools will be cancelled for the week, no doubt. If it's a wet snow, snowmen will be built. Mother Nature always has the last say. I just hope everyone stays safe and warm.
Five turkeys were roaming around in our back yard Saturday morning. The rain was pouring down, but they didn't seem to care. They stayed for a while and then slowly migrated to my next-door neighbor's place. They'll be scarce when Thanksgiving is on the horizon around here.
Caught up with Ann Warren, Ruth Brown, Mai Nell Melton and Gracie Bratcher over the weekend. All seems to be well with their families with no sickness. Ruth Brown had been to a birthday party for Sawyer Warren on Saturday. He turned six years old. He is the youngest son of Stephen and Jessica Warren. Betty Sue Hullett and family are all doing fine. They have a Super Bowl party each year. It has become a tradition for several years now. They all enjoyed the outcome of the game. I was pulling for the Eagles, too. Friends Rick and Beverly Hubler, Sherry Gannon, Russell Taylor and Connie Cantrell are all doing good. Jimmy Hale and grandson, Jacob, staying in and trying to stay warm. Jimmy reporting that John and Rose Womack are faring well. Melvin Ferrell told me something interesting about the weather. This goes back years ago, but he said "if it thunders in February, it will frost in May." Melvin said he was feeling pretty good and trying to stay warm.
Please keep in prayer: Dustin Johnson, Mary Melton, Diane Evans, Rose Watts, Walter and Faye Ferrell, the people of Israel and Ukraine and the leaders of our great nation.

I still have that little gnome occupying a space on my desk. Do not know what to name him. Since I can't entirely see his face because of the funny hat on his head...just his nose...I guess I'll call him "Nosey." I think that would be a good fit for him.
Been doing a "little" spring cleaning as spring is only a few weeks away. I think spring fever may be kicking in.
Wild onions are all over the place. The last snow we had those onions were peeking through the snow. They have grown an inch or two since then. Hopefully, I can do away with them at my first mowing of the year.
Russell Taylor keeps up with the amount of rain we get here on the mountain. We've gotten 3.5 inches with this cold front that came through.
Have a great day!
