Wordless Wednesday - Winter or Spring in Georgia?
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY:
“Storms
make trees take deeper roots.”
Dolly Parton
(This is where Chatty finds herself today. Getting strong roots from some storms in my life.)
We finally got some of the beautiful white stuff last night and today, more expected. I love it. Praying you pass through these storms in His peace which passes all understanding. Hugs~
Crazy weather, isn't it???? So you had some snow... That's cool!!!!!! Speaking of cool, it's been darn COLD up here today. We got 2 inches of snow --and high winds and cold, cold temps... Love seeing the snow--but don't care for those cold winds...
It is supposed to warm up this weekend though ---just in time for George and I to celebrate his birthday...
Hugs, Betsy Started my new Photo Blog today. Check it out. http://betsyphotoblog.blogspot.com/
Like the frog he is a cutie. Storms, oh my Gosh do we have storms we are weathering this winter and not the snow kind. But God will help us thru so we are keeping the faith.
Isnt it fun to get snow?? Not anywhere close to our 9 inches though!! did that close down your town?? LOL
Yep there are 2 of us, Me and Addi. Addi belongs to Tom which is my moms son, he lives with us and I belong to my mom. Addi is an American Bulldog but she knows that I am the BOSS round the house.
Standing here in the strong root line with you, Sandie.
And you nailed the season here very well in these photos. I was just telling my DC daughter that we have a totally split personality going on down here this year. The azaleas keep trying to bloom and then getting zapped by another blow of winter.

What a mixture you have there. Here everything is still quite frozen and nothing blooming but we may warm up this weekend so things may just start growing here. No snow for us. Just cold and sunny.
I know that you are well and safe-so I will comment on your photography!! Love it!! Feel like I was with you-also your update on your blog looks great!! Have a sweet day, my dear!! Jemma
Lovely photos; so glad that you got to see some of the white powdery stuff. The blossoms are here in full swing (South Georgia)...and the pollen is too. Have a beautiful week! Love, Jackie
Yes, it is hard to tell here in GA...whether it is winter or spring! But it happens almost every year. Cold nights, chilly windy days, but my dogwood tree is budding! :-)
Just keep repeating that quote by Dolly. So true, but wish you could have some clear weather soon! Roots are good, but sometimes they make us inflexible. Hang in there Sandie. Ann
Hello Sandie, I dont know about Georgian weather. One thing for sure that I can tell you, is that here in Portugal we are having awful weather. Seems winter just doesnt want to leave. We have had non stop rain for days and days. High winds too. My garden is flooded. I hope we get a peek at mr Sun soon. Best wishes for a happy blessed weekend val x
sometimes there are storms in life where we just have to dig our roots deeper to be able to pull through. Over here it's raining again, no snow this winter :( well I had some of it when I was home in Sweden. Big hugs to you xx

What is that little green guy in the garden??? A frog?
Are you alright? the regularly funny person that you are is in somber thoughts?
I love your photos but am concerned about you, my friend. Here if you need me. Love and Hugs and Prayers!
Yes, Sandie...storms make us take a stand and firm is GOOD!...:)JP
Love the pictures of your SPRING, I like the dual level deck. I like the frog catching those snow flakes.
I hope the storms do no damage and do drive the roots further...
((HUGS))
Best wishes for getting through whatever is coming your way.
Like the frog he is a cutie. Storms, oh my Gosh do we have storms we are weathering this winter and not the snow kind. But God will help us thru so we are keeping the faith.
Georgia is definitely confused right now:) And for those storms...they always blow over and the sun comes out.:)
While we're expecting a couple inches of snow tonight, I know you weren't:@)
Wow! We had about two days of winter and are quickly segueing into summer...
Traffic was great this morning - two flakes of snow fell and people stayed home. :)
thinking of you, :)
Great shots, Sandie. Hope you're okay!
(((Hugs)))
think you could flip a coin on that one.
okay you do get snow...now imagine that snow staying for 6 months....that what I live with when I am at home:))
2 weeks till spring! Hooray!
I hope the snow doesn't get all the blooms!!! Have a wonderful week, Sandie!! blessings ~ tanna
Hope your storms are gone
We got calls at school from parents who wanted to know if we had school today???
storms- all kinds of storms- spring and winter storms,,,
we hope your storm goes away and leaves you strong.

Hi Sandie.....YIKES! Snow in Georgia! Wowsers. Hope all is well. Susan
Glad you have some strong roots to hold you steady through these storms. May you come out of them soon and even stronger! Blessings to you - Marsha
Storms will always come, it is about how we weather them that counts.
I hope everything is alright? We have been in a real blizzard!!
Sorry abut the storms......I'm an expert at storms and weathering them.....with a small amount of sanity left. Hope this storm is short lived!

Hope all is well Sandie- and hope your spring gets here soon...

seems the weather can't make up its mind, yo you weather is confusing spring... flowers and snow...
What a mixture you have there. Here everything is still quite frozen and nothing blooming but we may warm up this weekend so things may just start growing here. No snow for us. Just cold and sunny.
Love the dabs of color.
Oh so ready for spring !!!!!
I'm right there with you, Chatty. Hoping the storms pass soon and you find strength in those roots. :)
I know that you are well and safe-so I will comment on your photography!! Love it!! Feel like I was with you-also your update on your blog looks great!!
Have a sweet day, my dear!!

Sandie, so sorry you are going through a rough patch. Sending hugs thru cyberspace!
Sending you a BIG 'ole Ganky sized hug this morning:) We do grow stronger thru the storms of life! I'll be praying:)
Sprinter...that's a new season, I think.
Thanks for sharing....and I love Dolly's quote.
ciao bella

Happy Wordless Wednesday!
Wow, snow in GA! I will email you and see if you're okay!
I bet snow in Georgia is rather rare eh? We had snow here in KY yesterday and it was awesome!!
Lovely photos; so glad that you got to see some of the white powdery stuff.
The blossoms are here in full swing (South Georgia)...and the pollen is too.
Have a beautiful week!
Love,
Jackie
Nice pics.
The weather seems to be crazy all over the world at the moment! We've been told that winter is coming back with a bang next week, here in England :(
it's a crazy world we live in!
hugs, Linda
Yes, it is hard to tell here in GA...whether it is winter or spring! But it happens almost every year. Cold nights, chilly windy days, but my dogwood tree is budding! :-)
I love that quote fom Dolly Parton. I've never heard it before.
I hope you are okay?
This is unusual post for you, the pictures reflect a quieter mood has winter gone on a bit to long don't worry Spring is coming.
Merle.....
Just keep repeating that quote by Dolly. So true, but wish you could have some clear weather soon! Roots are good, but sometimes they make us inflexible. Hang in there Sandie. Ann
so sorry for the storms in your life here is wishing they pass soon and the sun shines again.
Cathy
the weather seems to be crazy all over. I think maybe mother nature is suffering from dimentia
I think you got more than us.
You got SNOW! We didn't get much more than that yesterday! lol It melted by noon. It's hard to believe your spring trees are flowering right now.
Thanks for your visits. I hope you are ok.
Linda

looks and sounds like a confusing weather...hope your storms are gone!
big hugs~
Looks like your having both! Snow, you don't need that at all.
sometimes there are storms in life where we just have to dig our roots deeper to be able to pull through. Over here it's raining again, no snow this winter :( well I had some of it when I was home in Sweden.
Big hugs to you xx
I'm certainly ready for spring, but we still have most of the 9 inches of snow we got last Monday. Rain today. What a mess that will make!
