A Spring Snow Storm!

Don't you just love Oklahoma in the Spring! Just when one thinks it's time to put away the coveralls and wool socks a huge snow storm blows in and reminds us how unpredictable our weather is here in our great state.

Who knew this crazy weather would give me the opportunity to add to my "40 new things" list. My brother, sis-in-law, and Ruby went to Texas to take sis-in-law's mom home, or at least part way home. I went over to their place last night to feed and stay over since I would have to feed this morning. During the night the snow started flying and by the time I left this morning I needed to put my pick-up in 4 to get out. I left it in 4 all the way home! I'm talking all the way through town and on the highway. There were people all over the place and I was really hoping they'd stay away from me!

I realized when I had a death grip on my steering wheel coming through town that I had never driven in town when it was snowing and slick like that! I always make a point of being where I'm gonna stay when the bad weather hits. I don't like to drive in the bad stuff!!! So, I'm adding it to my list. Is anyone keeping track? Am I even remotely getting close to 40? I doubt it.

Here's a Dad story for you. We were down feeding tonight and all of a sudden he said, "Have you gotten any snowflakes up your nose yet?" I said, "Ah, no." He said," Maybe that's could be a new sinus rinse."

What????

  2. I'm proud of you, Alicia!

    I've always heard that you never drive when there is even a chance it will snow.

    Maybe that's not true, I don't know, but I know I would have been plenty nervous out there in that blizzard! Driving or not...

    And Sage, thanks for the reminder that I'm getting closer to 41 by the second.
