That's what many members of the Bliss team do when it's cold and wet outside. They blame me because aren't I she-who-turns-darkness-into-light and she-who-makes-water-appear from-the-thingy-in-the-kitchen? If I can do that, it's only natural to suppose that I can turn cold into warm and wet into dry. ;-)<BR/><BR/>I like snow Yolanda Elizabet Heuzenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02506031220151023088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-49918386244965005612007-12-04T11:47:00.000-04:002007-12-04T11:47:00.000-04:00We got our 1st Winter storm on the 1st, too.

I don't have to worry about Spring sogginess because my soil is so well drained. (I have to find positives about my soil, otherwise I get too discouraged.) Your memories of "White Juan" reminded me of the Blizzard of '79 in Chicagoland. Truly when Weather Made History.

Just returned home from a weekend checking our northern Michigan cottage where we woke Sunday to a foot of snow ... a fairyland but 'hellish' drive home. Though miminal snow here down state, winds howled and whipped scarf and hair around my 'still trapped in summer' head.

I hope we'll be able to avoid the heavy snowfalls this year. Some years it isn't too bad here in Indiana and some years we have way too much snow for this southern girl.Robin's Nesting Placehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05894844125547373328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20831949.post-10471371239119053392007-12-03T14:24:00.000-04:002007-12-03T14:24:00.000-04:00Jodi - I wish that Leggo and my girls, Silk and Si...Jodi - I wish that Leggo and my girls, Silk and Siete, could blog back and forth like you and I do.

Yet, I suspect I should like to try just once to be within one, while tucked amid blankets and wood fires and kitties all 'round. To me, this sounds lovely though I know it can be dangerous.
