Did I just blink and miss Spring?

In all the stress excitement of last week and for those of you not plugged into national news, it snowed in Georgia last Sunday.
With snowflakes so big, it looked like rain.
Seriously. A big deal.
Big deal because schools closed on Monday for a Snow Day. Which happens, oh, once every 5 or 10 years here!
And Georgia-born Scary Baby was in her glory outside in a summer bucket hat, pajama pants and giant gloves.
Because every kid should have the experience of catching snowflakes on their tongue.
It’s just part of childhood not to be missed ~ even if you live in the South.
Three inches did stick to the ground and she actually got to use a sled we bought in North Carolina some years ago. It quickly becomes a smud sledding activity. (That’s snow + mud.)
And then, exactly one week later…
…that same child should put on their bathing suit and ride down the street in the neighborhood.
Yes, we are those yay-hoos.
And I only wish I had captured a picture of her on that bike.
It has been 80 flippin’ degrees for the last three days.
I don’t care where you live…that’s just not right.
As I type this I’m barefoot and not pregnant in shorts sweating in my house. The sun has gone down and it is a chilly 69 degrees. What the heck?
I don’t know about you but I need a little transition time in my seasons.
Random side note: Keep the Facebook input coming. I typically don’t cave to peer pressure but I’m weighing my options. 
P.S. I’m not a fan of boys/men wearing nail polish but holy schmoly did anyone see Adam on American Idol last night? Yes, the girls and I continue to watch it every single season…
Yes, I noticed Adam’s nails too- lovely! He was pretty good though, along with quite a few others. To me, it seems like a pretty awsome group this year. How funny that I had e-mailed you earlier telling you to check out Facebook. I have found it pretty fun just for catching up with people both from HS and college that I haven’t spoken to in years. You are much better at keeping in touch with folks than I am though!
@Peggy: I’m with you on the group on American Idol this year – really some amazing talent! The Facebook topic is cracking me up but I’m still not convinced. I’ll keep you *posted*
