A friend of ours sent us this picture and it so perfectly captures what the month of February has been like here in Alexandria and Northern Virginia that we just had to share. 


I  think a "white Christmas" is always in order and a few opportunities to skate on a frozen pond or go sleigh riding should be part of growing up but once you pass the 50 inch mark - well, that's when its time to say ENOUGH!

Hi Michael - Well, I'm sure it is a big headache, but I love the sign - it shows a real sense of humor about the situation.

Just today passing a local church who had a sign stating, "If you are driving by, honk if you believe in Jesus, Text if you want to meet him"  That sign along with yours makes me want to get in my car tomorrow and drive around and capture a number of these pithy sayings for the blog.  As you know Dallas has LOTS of churches.  Thanks for the smile

Michael:  This is funny!  Ah, the power of prayer.  I like when churches have a sense of humor and express it like this.

Michael, I agree.  And I thought we were going to get whacked again last night.

Love it michael.  There are plenty of other communities right now that share those sentiments.  We're getting hit right now in Rockland.  I personally can't wait for it to stop.  Enough already.  Where's spring?

Susan - sometimes all you can do is laugh

Larry - I love church signs and a collection would be just the thing.

Chris Ann - I think there is a book of church signs somewhere

Michael - I had heard of being "Careful what you WISH for" - but thought praying was a little safer.  Apparently, not:-)

Michael - This is funny!  I guess the congregation of that church went a little overboard.

Hi Michael-

With the recent snowfalls that we are hearing about, it makes me wonder: Just how many pranksters are praying for snow?  Is is all seventh-graders looking for "snow days"?

Sara - By the end of two weeks of no school, everyone - parents and seventh graders - were anxious to get back!

Lewis, thanks for the comment, this may be the 1st time we have had more snow than you and your neighbors. National Airport (less than 2 miles from us) has recorded 54 inches of snow this winter!
