A major highway a bit north of the one we were on was closed down due to over a foot of snow, and it was still coming.

Just the other day my Mom's plants got frosted..latest frost we can remember since we've been here and it was 42 at 11:00 p.m.....oh well, live and learn. Mom's son has been visiting and they were both working very hard in the yard all week. He was lots of fun as he rough-housed with me which Mom doesn't do. It was so fun having him here. Annie and I both like him a lot and he makes Mom laugh a lot too. Do you have to watch out for those snapping turtles in the Summer too? Don't you swim in that lake? Mom's daughter got one on the end of her pinkie finger once. She was lucky it didn't take it off! It was lots smaller than the one in your lake though, thank goodness! Good to see it's finally warming up for you there. We had a tornado in our town that destroyed quite a few homes on the lake but missed us thank goodness or we'd be living out of our car unless that got wrecked too. Take care....Love and Licks, Nitty and Annie and I guess Grace now too (the cat Mom adopted)...geez!

He runs into things now and then because he gets caught in the sniffing. I can't believe ya'll still have snow on the ground. At least it isn't still freezing. This has been a long winter especially for ya'll. Take care and tell Chance hello from Buddy and Lucky (my new lab puppy. He helps Buddy to get some exercise since he is so overweight).Becca's Dirthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18245107413671341365noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5456722259350114571.post-61309964820354849942013-04-30T15:32:06.113-05:002013-04-30T15:32:06.113-05:00I've always wondered about those snapping turt...I've always wondered about those snapping turtles.....glad you listened.<br /><br />Congrats and happy birthday Francine!

I really hope that is the last of the snow for everywhere. Snapping turtles were always a fascination for any kid in my day.
