Then, this Wednesday, February 4th, it snowed again. And it actually stuck on the ground. A long time resident informed me that the last time it snowed was 1989, and it snowed more than a foot that time.
I didn't get any pictures of the snow on January 20th. Like I said, it wasn't really impressive. But this week I got pictures. Here is the view out our front door:
Then the view out our back door:
Ladybug and I had to run a few errands as the snow was stopping. And I saw the strangest sight on the way home. A large pig, a very large pig (over 100 lbs) was running parallel to the road in a field. I knew the pigs were there, but I had never see a pig THIS BIG run LIKE THAT! I told Ladybug to look out the window at the pig.
Then it hit me. It snowed in Myrtle Beach. People often use the phrase, "When pigs fly" to describe the impossibility of something like that happening. Maybe this pig was trying to fly!
(Okay, maybe you had to be there. I thought it was funny!)
I think it's funny. GUess you have to be from the south! Love your quote of Acts on your header.
ReplyDeleteIt made me smile! Enjoy the rare moment there...
ReplyDeleteLOL ... now that isn't something you see every day!
ReplyDeleteThat would be sooo neat if it snowed here too! Enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteThat made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteOn our honeymoon at Myrtle Beach it sleeted there....lots!!! That was 39 years ago! Still amazes me when I hear that it snowed at the beach!!

I think pigs are flying here in Chicago-land. Our snow is melting on the 7th day of February! It was about 50 degrees. It should be 15 right now and not 50 until March or April.
ReplyDeleteThat definitely made me laugh!! Too funny!
ReplyDeleteDid you know that I loved in MB during that big snowfall?!?! We went and made snow angels on the beach! It was a riot! My dad was flying A-10s for the AirForce there. I also lived there during Hurricane Hugo- two of MB's infamous weather stories! :)
ReplyDeleteI'm glad LB got to see some snow. So fun. And the pig thing... hilarous!!
What did Ladybug think of the snow? My little guy loves it, but with 2 feet on the ground lately, I think we've had more than our fair share!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy the beauty of it. I love the way God paints the world white with snow...it reminds me of our own purity when he forgives our sins.
Heather,
ReplyDeleteI just noticed that you still have your BF ticker posted. You rock! Keep it up...you'll never regret those precious moments that you spend with Ladybug.
That must've been an amazing site!
ReplyDeleteHey girlie... A couple of weeks ago I posted a blog with a recipe for snow ice cream from my southern father in law. He made it every day while he was here.
ReplyDeleteMaybe if you gathered all the snow from your front yard and back you'd have enough to make it. LOL
Hope you enjoyed your little bit of white stuff.
