Wow....its really covering and
coming down, fine, wet and a
lot of it!!
And as I typed the above,
I realized it was 7:03 am,
one hour of snow pics below
to see how it can cover
in no time.
Roads are covered.
NEVER.....do I recall
all 95 counties in TN.,
all of TN schools closed
for one snow.
Okay....
moving on.
When I was in the mountains
at my brothers cabin I spotted
an amazing rock from the deck
in the creek.
Told my SIL that I wanted to grab
one for her and one for me,
to paint our house numbers
on. So, I ventured in to the
creek and got the rocks I spied.
This is the one I picked out for
the cabin house number.
17.5 inches from point to point,
and the other side point to point
is 11 inches.
the number on the rock and
with Lori being a quilter
I wanted to paint a quilt
pattern on hers.
I took a pic in town of
a quilt pattern on a building,
and decided to copy that
pattern to Lori's rock.
Then I painted the house
number over the top of
that.
Gotta pick up some sealer,
I ran out doing the great
grands chairs for Christmas,
and apply several coats
to Lori's rock.
Now, to decide what
I want to put on my rock.
I started this post earlier
today and did not finish, it
is not 1:40 am, and I can't sleep.
At 12:30 I was cleaning the
laundry room.
I give myself an hour and
if I have not gone to sleep I
get up. But as I laid there and
could not sleep my
mind kept racing from one
thought to the other.
The other was, for
a fleeting minute, what
I think I have decided for
my rock.
number across it,
it might just read, "there's
no place like home"!
You see, if I do that, I can
always pick up another
great rock on my next trip
to the mts. The creek is full
and its forever changing.
I have blogged before that I
am a big fan of
The Wizard of Oz.
On the front door of
my home of 28 years,
I had that saying,
"there's no place like home".
That saying came to me
when I was unlocking my
door after a seven day
visit in Calif.
I loved my visit, but
we all know, that there
is not place like home.
When I moved to my childhood
home, I also painted it
on the front door.
Because I was going home
to live again.
I also did something I
said I would never do,
I got a tat with that on
my leg.
So, being that is a thing
I do, it was also one
of the first things I did
when moving to my
forever home last yr.
Who knows, I could change
my mind, but probably not!
Cooler temps bring the
girls hanging in the same
room with their mom.
I have to laugh at this
little gray ball, if I
am sitting near her, she
has to reach out and
touch me. She does it
all the time.
I LOVE IT.
The holidays are done and
over so my door decor
has been taken down.
I keep trying to remember
to go to my stash and pull
out something for the front door.
We are kinda between
holidays so I will probably
put my J back up.
Do you always keep something
on your front door?
