ADOPTED by JUDY BROCKMEYER After living here for 30 some odd years I am always genuinely surprised, silly me, when it snows so late into spring... it has even happened on the 4th of July. Talk about putting a kink into holiday plans. Today's little ditty is a memory from about 24 years ago. My husband and I had escaped to the Bahamas for a belated May honeymoon and my Sainted Mother stayed with the kids in our mountain home. My ever so efficient husband, unbeknownst to me, had turned off the heat in the house thinking that it wouldn't be needed. Well, WE didn't need it but they did...BIG time. We had a HUGE storm and cold snap. I think every blanket and sweater in the house was pulled out and shared between the three of them huddled in front of the gas fireplace, school was even cancelled. My Mother threatened to never return if we did that to her again! To this day I still make sure we don't get shut off too early, by Oh Efficient One, as it obviously still happens on a regular basis. I snapped a pic out our bedroom window this morning of Buffalo Mt. and Red before the snow filled clouds blanked out the mountain range and closed in about our home. 66 days ago I foolishly titled the first Little Gem, "Last of Winter on the Blue"!
