Snow Birds

One realizes winter's coming when friends like the birds start heading South. You may know these people known as 'Snow Birds' and that's because they are leaving before that white stuff starts falling like the temps up here in the North. We probably won't see them until after the thaw if not later.

The migration actually started earlier this year as friend Cheryl was itching to go way before fall even arrived and hey it wasn't that cold yet but she had to go to bootcamp to learn about her new lifestyle and wheels Seemore, the new motor home. Cheryl now is in Texas.

Then Thursday was Sandy's farewell luncheon before she heads to Florida. That's Sandy on the far right. We're really not that happy that she's leaving but glad for the last opportunity to get together.


Next it'll be Sara who'll head the other direction to Arizona. Remember now it's a tradition for us to eat at the Indian buffet before you depart!

I'll know winter is officially over when these buddies start returning to the area.
Until then, we will be here holding down the fort right here in the End of the Rainbow Valley. Enjoy that warmer weather for us!

  1. But I want to come you for the snow...ok maybe only a week or so of it..but still! Think of all we could cook with that fire roaring and looking out the window!

  2. We certainly would be cozy with the oven going and the fire a 'blazing. We could even bake some bread in the fireplace's bread oven! No promises as to if there'll be snow ... it might just be very cold outside.

  3. Thanks for thinking of me. I tried to hook up previously with Sandy but it didn't work. This year I plan to catch up with Mike and Sara.
