You're Gonna Think I'm Crazy!

You are probably going to think I'm WACKO but I've packed my bags and am leaving sunny, warm Houston for the Appalachian Mountains for what I'm calling a SNOW-CATION!
This is what the flowers look like outside my office and home.......pretty, huh?

Today was SO sunny, it was a great day to take pictures of all the flowers that are in bloom.


I walk by this every morning before going in my office....it's so pretty I can look at it without putting a little smile on my face.
Before leaving for work I saw this beautiful Angel's Trumpet in my back yard. The morning sun looks so pretty shining through the leaves.
and YEP...call me crazy....I'm leaving for a week to PLAY in THIS!!!! WOOHOO!!! Snow makes me giddy.

  6. Yep, you are totally crazy!!! Seriously, if you love snow good for you. I wish I were more like that.....but I'm so not. If it's below 78 degrees I AM MISERABLE!

    I cannot believe all the flowers. THEY ARE BEAUTIFUL! I'm soooo jealous.

    Have a GREAT time on your trip.

  7. I hope you enjoy your snow vacation in the mountains. I live in PA and we have had sooooo much snow this year. It is great to see all your lovely flowers and the green grass.

    Thank you so much for stopping by today and wishing me happy birthday. I truly appreciate it. Please stop by again any time. Amy :)

  14. Yes, Susan, I think you are whacko...lol Seriously though, it's nice to have a change of weather once in awhile. I'm so wishing for some sunshine and to see flowers again. When our snow starts melting it's just a muddy mess.
    Have a great time.

  18. You are not crazy, I told my husband that I NEEDED to see snow, well before I could plan a trip it snowed (in LOUSIANA for goodness sake). Have fun for the rest of us southern folk...MISSY

  19. I think this is just the kind of holiday to totally invigorate you and prepare you for the long, lazy days of summer. Enjoy!

    P.S. I don't think you are crazy~ we don't get to play in snow here. :)

  23. I understand completely. When you live in a place where it pretty much never snows, it is a fun thing to get to play in it! I'm pretty sure I would get tired of it if I lived where it snows all winter though!
    Blessings,
