"Lost" figured out...

I did it. I figured out the television series Lost. I didn't get into it the first year. That summer I watched all the reruns of the first season and thought it was a strange show. I started watching the second season and it just kept getting stranger. I couldn't keep up with who was who and where the heck they went and what happened to this person and who the heck are THEY and where did they come from goings on. I didn't keep up with it.

Now... the last episodes are airing and it is winding down. I haven't watched them, either. Mom Got caught up on it, sort of, with the episode before the first of this last season and found herself lost in Lost and couldn't get caught up after all.

But... I figured it out. All the people on, unknowingly, were on a Reality TV Show gone bad.

That's it.

Snow Snow Snow

The average temperature in Arkansas for this time of year, February, is 35 degrees for a low and 55 degrees for high. Forties in January, 50s in December. Somebody has forgotten to remind Mother Nature of that fact this year. LOL And my mother is up here from Florida this year and it has been COLD! Been reminding me of Illinois weather quite often this year.

Yesterday we woke up to four inches of snow on the ground. It kept beautifying the area ALL DAY. It was snowman making snow, wet, heavy. The limbs on the pine trees and the cedar trees were just loaded and so heavy some were dragging the ground. Denny knocked some of the snow off branches but last night more fell off those after it turned colder and the branches have popped back up nicely. We did lose some branches from the big pine over by the red shed to the heavy snow, though. When I looked out the bedroom window, after opening my eyes from sleep, bare tree limbs were glistening in the sunlight with ice. Gorgeous!

I think glistening snow and ice are just beautiful. I don't particularly like the cold needed to have them nor the dangers they can present, NOR the slush, mud, and dirty snow that follows. Ah well... it's coming soon. LOL
