Veteran’s Day Snow 11-11-11

November 11, 2011

 

     Happy Veteran’s Day… a heart-felt thanks you to all veterans for your service time and your sacrifices for our freedoms.

 

     It snowed like crazy last night, after a very nice day. They said we could get some flurries and we sure did! They are piled on our patio table as you can see. It did make for a nice landscape this morning. Everything was covered in a pristine white.

 

     By the afternoon, everything was sloppy, slushy and wet. The melting snow made for a usual November day for us northeast Ohioans. I am not yet ready for winter, but this little shot, makes me hasten to get that way.

 

     The sheep paid the snow no mind. The cows didn’t seem to care about it much either. The chickens stayed inside until late in the day, but my dog loved it 😮  He played like a small boy, excitedly running and jumping in the white stuff.

 

     I spent part of my day with one of my uncles. He is a veteran and one great guy. I too am a “vet”. I served in peacetime. I joined when the Iranians took a bunch of people hostage. I was married and in my early twenties…I do not regret it for one minute. Freedom is not free and I was ready to pay for mine, if I had been asked.

 

     Many folks are going crazy today because of the numbers 11-11-11. I don’t see what all the hub-bub is about…next year I will understand…12-12-12 will be my birthday.. Let’s celebrate 😮
