What?




So what do you think about Global Warming, you ask. I will tell you my thoughts for THIS weekend. The weathermen had predicted snow, 2-4 inches for my area. They were running winter warnings all day on Saturday. The snow would start at 4 PM they said. WRONG!!

At 10 PM when my husband went out for the last feeding of the baby goats for that day, he told me it was snowing. I went to the window and looked toward the yard light. I could see no snow or any precipitation at that time. I thought he was fooling me. Yet, when he came in, he said there was some accumulation on the lower part of the windshield of my car.

At the 11 o’clock newscast, the news people were all standing outside in their caps, scarves, and coats. You just could see a few flakes falling through the winter mix. The main weatherman was holding a snowball about the size of a soft ball. I wondered how many car windshields he had scraped to get that much snow. There certainly wasn’t any on the ground.

On Sunday morning there was no sign of snow anywhere in my neighborhood…. Just cold temps.

Sunday night CBS had a documentary on Global Warming. The scientist on there were very convinced that the ice is melting on the two poles. As I was watching the show, a thought popped into my head. Who you gonna’ believe… The men on TV or God. Sit here and believe what they are saying or walk outside and see what God is doing. Y’all "out side" was very cold last night. Not a record…but still cold for us!

Scientist cannot tell us whether it will snow or not, but THINK they can predict the future… Don’t talk to me about Global Warming today… maybe next summer we can discuss it!!

Think I'll run down to Rabaul and see Jules.

More Small Town Art

Saw this one painted on the side of a building in Plymouth N.C.

Today, I'm sitting inside watching it rain. The weather people say we will have snow later today. If we do, I will probably have to do two posts today..LOL

This is a good day to finish up a Nicholas Sparks book I'm reading. This book is
The Guardian.

I know we will have to make a run today to get goat feed. Then we will be all set for the snow!

Small Town Art

A lot of the small towns in our area have paintings on the side of some buildings.

This Mural is on a building in Trenton, North Carolina. We were there last Thursday. We had checked out the Trenton Volunteer Fire Department and EMS Flea Market. We saw many interesting things all ready on the property that were to be auctioned on Saturday.

An Update

I got a wonderful surprise yesterday at Church. Justin was sitting with his mom. He was back from "the dessert". He has a two week leave then has to report to Fort Bragg. We were all so thankful for his safe return. Still waiting for Addie and Scott to get back. Please continue to pray for our troops!

Noah's Ark

This is the Noah's Ark that Sandy gave me for Christmas. She said it would need some tender loving care. I love it!!
In the center section is a merry-go-round. I must figure out how that works.
Also included in the package were these blade-like pieces. I will need husband's help with this. Thank You Sandy!
This is a Noah's ark candle that my mom gave me a few years back.
These are some that I bought myself. Somehow this collection never really got started.

Now that Sandy has gifted me with the large Noah's Ark, I might just have to look for more. Thanks again Sandy!!

I now know what everyone was talking about with blogger troubles. It took me all afternoon to get this post published. LOL
