Then started out nice on Monday and got really cold in the after noon. This morning it was 4 deg. when we got up to feed the animals. My wish is that spring comes early this year.

It is just wild how it has been. And I heard on the weather last night that we may have another dry summer, but hope they are wrong.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08015780995837712115noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-79154066089354852662013-01-20T23:25:28.086-06:002013-01-20T23:25:28.086-06:00Hi Betsy, you would fit in well in our home town, ...Hi Betsy, you would fit in well in our home town, Marquard, South Africa. Being a farming community, people talk about the weather a LOT! I simply LOVE your foggy photos, your icy tree branches and your private Betsy and George waterfall. In fact I love every bit of this post! I'm linking your post to mine today while I continue my post about blogging and snail mail! Have a wonderful week, my dearest Betsy.

Here in NE Mississippi we had exactly the same stuff as you...and I was hoping that YOU would get snow because you love it so...aawwww, the sleet was the best the system could do for you. I have to tell you that at our house we got no snow, but 30 miles away in Tupelo there was some, and down near Jackson there were inches and inches. My daughter went to visit friends at Mississippi State University and there were remains of snowmen! Oh what crazy weather for the Deep South!!<br /><br />Your pictures are wonderful! The ice was just enough to cause the glistening, but not enough to bring down branches. Had to watch out driving though, as there were slick spots.<br /><br />I hope you'll have time to look at my blog about this weather, because it's got lots about my backyard birdies...I worried about them like they had never been through weather before!!<br /><br />Enjoy this current sunny weather :-)<br /><br />hugs,<br />ElizbethElizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14584744403425323128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-53470594631764802122013-01-20T11:25:29.609-06:002013-01-20T11:25:29.609-06:00Dear Betsy,

I love your waterfall and the pink sky. Hope the weather is settling into a normal pattern for the time of year. The heavy snowfall that we were expecting across Britain has arrived in our region. We are not quite snowed in yet on our hill, but it's not a good idea to drive or even walk out because of the impacted ice under the fresh snow.<br />Linda Phttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10634839688042592781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3915113069723845995.post-39150507785225363902013-01-18T22:10:30.307-06:002013-01-18T22:10:30.307-06:00Wonderful post Betsy!!!

The poor birds were super hungry! Love your ice on branches pics but to be honest, they are all very cool. Smart planning on George's part for the abundance of water days around your place. That actually looks very cool how it all flows down. The only thing that makes me sad? Those poor bulbs. Hope they are okay.
