"OH - NO" MORE SNOW

When you think spring is about around the corner here comes more snow. We have at least got in one week of school since around Jan. But here came the snow again and  they had to let the kids come home around one. Now it has about all melted just like March weather is. The trees are all coated and so is the ground and it is post card perfect. Now it is about all gone. Our grass has greened out just like spring. Hope it don't get killed out. I have never saw grass do this before this early. Just to let us know that everything is changing.
 We have had the worst winter in Ky. since about 15 years. But when you look at all the other states that has so many feet of snow then ours is nothing to complain about. The most we have had is around one foot. But to us that is a lot.
 When it go's up to around 100 we will be wishing for the snow. We will be in our houses all trying to get like snow and cool off.
 I often wonder how people stood it years ago with no fans. My mom and dad would go and work all day, from before the sun came up to the moon came out, in the tobacco fields and just have on a hat to shade their faces. When they came home they did not have anything to cool off with. How could they stand this.
 I remember my dad telling me about a baptism they had and how the preacher had preached that day and had got so hot his shirt was soaked then they went afterwards and had a baptism in a river and he was one that helped. He got to feeling funny and got out of the water and went and sit down under a tree and in just a little bit he died.
 I have always tried to cool down if I work in the garden before coming inside at least a little bit.
We really do not realize how hot we can get and then come in to the cold air. I tell my hubby not to go get a ice cold drink but to wait a few minutes because my mind always goes back to what my dad told me. He says cold water wont hurt nobody. But really if you do a lot of medical reading it will tell you to wait and cool down.
I guess we just need to be glad for everything that God has made for us.  We could be like some people and not even have good water to drink. At least if we need water we can melt some snow if it came to that.
 Without him we would not even be alive.
 I have always heard that we are only 5 to 6 inches from death each day. That is how far it is from your mouth down to your heart. If you don't have a long neck. lol. Go measure it and just see. The mouth breathes in our air and the heart keeps us going.
Have you ever got to where you can't breathe?  I have and boy do you get scared fast. We know without that breath we sure could not be here.
 I know a lot of people do not believe in God but just stop and think what really keeps us breathing.
 I read a saying that says "Enjoy every day of your life and live each day to the fullest because " you do" have a expiration date." We are always looking at when our foods expire and worrying about will we get sick from it but one of these day it will come our time and we will expire also. If you want to put it like that. Think about it..........
