South Carolina is Closed

I LOVE living in the south. The food is better. The people are sweeter. The winters are warmer... oh wait, that's a lie. Its cold here. Very cold.

South Carolina has had an unseasonably cold winter and an unreasonable about of winter weather for this flip flop wearing southern gal.

As sweet talkin' southerners we don't do winter precipitation in ANY form very graciously. When there is any talk of winter weather at all, we flock to the stores and buy up all the milk and bread they have and prepare for what we would compare to an apocalypse.

Northerners laugh at us. That's fine. We laugh at them as they are sweating and complaining in August when it is a startling 85 degrees. Gasp!

We have had two winter storms this year... so far...and I hope that is all.

Sugar was genuinely unimpressed with the white stuff. 

Winter weather to me is a lot like a family vacation... Its all fun and games at first but by the end, everyone hates each other and the thought of getting back in a car with those people for a long drive home makes you want to throw yourself in the ocean.

Even with the cold and wet status of the winter days around here there are gifts to be found...

The best gift is that South Carolina is closed and the WONDERFUL part about that is Mr. gets to work from home! We LOVE having him here even if he has to be in the office all day.

These pictures are from the ice apocalypse that hit South Carolina this week. 

We have been unable to leave our home since Tuesday evening.

Cabin fever is an understatement.

Our little Dr.Seuss tree in our front yard is done with winter too...

Another gift is the pure majestic-ness of creation. When you look at the intricate design of the ice and how it forms over the earth. It is such a beautiful reminder that our God is such an artist.
