I know we have crazy weather in the Great Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, so usually nothing surprises me....usually. But as I am still so confused that Saturday, January 1st, at 4:00 p.m. I was walking around the Optimist Park near my house and it was 78°.
Twelve hours later, at 4:00 a.m., I woke up to see if it was snowing and it was. The temp was a windchill of 26° and I already had 3" on the porch and it was still coming down hard. So I made a snowball and it was some of the best packing snow I had seen in years. And yes, I put on a coat and gloves over my jammies and went outside long enough to make a snowball at 4:00 in the morning. Doesn't everybody?
I had to work a little while yesterday morning, but I work from home so I continued watching the snow fall. After work, I finised up some housekeeping I wanted to do and worked on this little tier shelf for my dining room table. I have a beautiful blue and white tablecloth to go on the table, but it needs ironed. Right when I went to iron it, my iron knob broke and now it won't come on. New iron in my future so I just used this tablecloth for now. But I love the shelf.
I had a new vase and some flowers I had bought at Walmart. So I decided to arrange the flowers in the vase for my living room coffee table. I am so happy with the results. I love this arrangement.
Then that evening I ordered Pizza Hut and sat down to read some more of my Nora Roberts novel that I got for Christmas. Pizza Hut has been out of my pork sausage I love and finally got some in. So he loaded it down for me because he knew I had not been happy with it gone. But apparently I must get too many pizza's from there because he remembers me when I call in.
Now that was a wonderful start to the first few day of a new year.
