Burr, Growl, and Arrrrghh

I never pay attention to the weather, my husband does and lets me know if there is trouble ahead. I think the weatherman goofed yesterday but because we live between two Great Lakes you never know what's going to blow up across one or both of those lakes. It was a sunny afternoon when I left the house for the YMCA and water aerobics. I spent 15 minutes in the steam room and then went to the pool. The first thing I heard was “its snowing!” Now I was cold again. Water aerobics is always fast and furious, its amazing how easy it is to do exercises in water because we have no body weight in water. Its my favorite thing about the “Y” but I do floor exercises and some real aerobic classes too. After the class I showered, dressed and headed out to go home and was met by a winter wonderland. I had on my jeans and a turtleneck and a Sweater! Burrr, the walk to the car was mushy and short. Once there I realized the brush to sweep off snow was in the garage. Now my hands were cold. Once in the car I turned on the heat and the short ride home was easy, the roads were clear and the snow had stopped. Within an hour of being home there was no more snow on the driveway or roads, It stuck around on the grass and the plants in the gardens. I took this photo looking out across the back yard. The plant has a name but I can't remember it, we just call the “Live Forevers”. So easy to grow, you can take a piece and stick it in the ground and it will turn into a beautiful plant, It has a bloom in the fall that I love. I also love it when the snow sits on its head like a hat. And yes @Rollo1 I just read your post and thought I needed to tell this story. Thanks for the idea. Are you cold today? I envy people who live in the south today.
