Is it warm or cold in your neck of the woods?

Have a Super weekend! ;)

  1. Hi Karen -

    Thanks for the links. I'm devouring the blog posts over at Kristen Lamb's place. Thanks for steering us in her direction in one of your previous posts.

    It's warm and raining here, but this morning everything was coated with ice.

    Blessings,
    Susan :)

  5. Karen:
    It's cold here, snowed most of the day. Ice still under the first layer of snow. (Today's is the second layer) Could do this off and on for most of the week.
    Thank you for the research you do for us writers.
