Ken commented to a friend recently that at no time in his life did he ever dream of living in Mississippi. I agreed with him. It was not in any plans. But here we are spending part of each Spring and Fall living life in Mississippi. And liking it.
Today I talked with my friend Mary MacD. from Nova Scotia. Walt had an appointment in Halifax yesterday so they were required to drive, even though the roads were terrible. It had been snowing all night, then sleet. The driving was terrible. But they made it home safely. Today they are staying home and off the roads. Even Gill, who does not complain about the weather, described the weather as first snow, followed by sleet, followed by rain which froze, and then turned back to snow. The whole thing repeating over and over again. The weather is still fearful.
Meanwhile, we in the south had rain for two days with a temperature of 60 degrees. This afternoon the sun shone. By the end of the week it will be cold here, about 40. And last week we actually had an honest to goodness freeze. Our outside thermometer registered 29. But only for one night. There are many joys living in Mississippi, which includes the friendly, polite people, but nothing is better that looking out and seeing no ice and snow. The reservoir does not freeze. Living in the south has it's rewards.
