Our Wacky Weather continues…just from Wednesday until Saturday, the
temperatures bounced from 8 to 61 degrees!
ROFL

| This is how it started on Wednesday night... |
 |
| By Thursday morning, we had about 5 inches of sleet/snow! |
Isn’t it strange how we HEAR the same stories over and over our entire
life, but then, we are unable to give the details. It was SOME day in Spring that Mother would
tell that Daddy picked buttercups in the snow for her friend’s wedding shower…I
JUST know it was late, but have no clue WHEN!
I THINK it was in 1950…that’s all I remember…
 |
| Spring 2014 |
Before our last two snows, the buttercups were a few days from opening!
 |
| This was February 14 BEFORE our WINTER MADNESS began... |
I remember a HUGE snowfall the first day of Spring in 1996. It was the ONLY time I ever remember Daddy
being snowed in. It was a tradition to
pile into the truck and go to town with each new snowfall! This time, though, the drifts were so high
and there was no getting out…The snow was so heavy that the tractor couldn’t
get it moved without weighing the back HEAVILY and Daddy just didn’t want to
trudge through all the wet snow to get rolls of hay put on the back.
Daddy and I had laughed at the weather forecasters~~who doesn’t! It had been POURING RAIN and we thought there
was NO WAY that snow would ever stick. I
guess that just proves WHEN you get enough, it will eventually stick!
I was lucky to have a “deal” with my manager at Vanderbilt Bookstore…IF the
students in my county didn’t have school, then I didn’t have to go into work…it
was an hour away and we are on THE RIDGE, so often the weather is not the
same. I got LAUGHED off the phone when I
called and told them that I could NOT get to work because there was not a drop
of snow in Nashville…THANK GOODNESS, the news people came out and took pictures
for the evening news…it was a weird weather event!
It was funny to be playing outside in the 60 degrees today and to see the
patches of snow that still hadn’t melted…
I thought I needed to paint something with COLOR today, so I quickly
designed this little bunny and thought I would share him with you all…
Click on your mouse to save the picture to your computer. The ONLY thing I ask is that you give ME
credit for MY design if you post it anywhere…paint it...stitch it…use it in
mixed media…it doesn’t matter, just do NOT claim it as YOUR own pattern…I am
happy to share…I painted this on an 8x10 burlap canvas and the design is
approximately 6.5 x 9…Feel free to resize it as you wish.
