most of what they were calling for went south of us and missed us!
after 12 hours of sleet, we started getting the dreaded snow...
which could have been up to 14 inches...
or so they said...
Mr Wiggles loves to watch it snow...
but this morning, this is all we ended up with!
you can still see the grass!
thank you, Lord!
now, to ward of snow, you must get out the eggs and bunnies...
and pray, too...
that's really important...
and wear your flip flops...
just think what would have happened if I would have shaved my legs!!!!
we could be in the 70s by now...
ok, that's an inside joke, kind of...
you know my mom didn't believe in anything like this...
but...
every year, when we lived on the farm...
spring didn't happen until I wore my shorts on a weekend...
while cleaning house...
and every year, as soon as I did that, winter would break and spring would happen...
I told mom it was true and she was such a none believer, or so I thought...
well, one winter was extra long and I had yet to don the shorts...
so one weekend, mom and I were spring cleaning, and she goes...
'don't you think its time to wear your shorts?'
what's that you say, mom?
you believe in my shorts?
'I'm not saying that at all, but just maybe it would help push things along...'
so, I ran and dug out my shorts and sure enough...
that was the end of winter...
coincidence?
or course it was...
but don't tell mom!
stay warm and have a happy day!
;)

Okay, I am convinced....I am digging out the shorts and definitely shaving my legs....lol Seriously, I think I can gather up some eggs and bunnies....We are snowed in... roads are bad.. Hubby home from work today. That usally does not happen.. The counties are all out of salt and just worked under with all the bad weather keeping the roads clear.. I can see blue skies in the distance...Do you have your shorts on? Have a great week. Blessings!
Tete, Your shorts story is so funny. Yes, we too were blessed with much less snow than forecasted. I like the way your cat looks. I miss our old Zoey some times.xoxox,Susie
Happy Monday to you. I love this story-so cute and such a sweet memory! I have to say that I've been wearing shorts to Pickleball already, and yes we've gotten some warm days but not consistently. Glad you missed the snow storms. Here's to spring!
Hugs, Noreen
It got up to 12 today...so I wore long pants. Hopefully it will reach the 30's soon. But I will probably still wear long pants.
wink*
That is hysterical about the shorts ending winter. Was it a special pair of shorts? Do you still have them? lol If so, PLEASE put the danged things ON, wouldja?
Glad the big snow missed you. It is snowing here today AGAIN- a couple of inches so far- ugh xo Diana
