Almost beat Alabama
It was such a close game and I am very proud of my Hogs.
And I got to watch the game on a television a bit larger than my own.

The herb garden is out and just needs sun and some time. Rosemary, parsley, oregano, thyme, and cilantro.

Waking up to snow
I knew that it was going to snow in the northern part of Arkansas last night, but I had no idea that we were going to get any here. This is what it looked like when I wen out to get my newspaper this morning.
This is also the third winter event since Christmas Eve. For us in the south, it is like being on the tundra!

My Baby sister said that my cooking was creepy yesterday, so I took a picture of my frying chicken to show that she was right, it does seem creepy. LOL!

In bloom
This is a photo of my orchid in bloom. It is a mix of sad and beauty. I always gave the flower sprays to either Charlene or Grandma. Since they are both gone now, I don't have a girl to give flowers to anymore. Big sigh...
Just goofing off...
I wanted a photo of a fire in my fireplace. I have only one and it has Bubba watching Kendall decorate the tree last year.
