What's on my mind....

Keep hope alive....
It's snowing here in Georgia. A rarity.

All week there have been predictions of a storm coming through on Wednesday afternoon/ Thursday, but we get those warnings all the time. You get your hopes up, fill the fridge and the cabinets, and nothing happens. Consequently, I wasn't putting too much into those weather reports.

But on my way home from work this evening, like feathers from down pillows split during a fight, huge snowflakes fluttered from on high. By the time I pulled into the driveway and went for the mail, they were accumulating on top of the mailbox. Still, I remained skeptical.

But now, I can hear ice crystals pelting the panels in the bay window as I am typing this. Is that the wind I hear beginning to howl? I certainly hope so. I hope it continues right on into the night and that the roads are too slick for the school buses to run in the morning. The satellite signal just went out.

Dare I hope for a snow day?????
