It's just after 7 a.m. although we were both awake by 4. It is starting to get daylight although so far you can't see that we have a sun. Our world is white, lots of snow and ice outside. And the great news is....we still have electricity. Never know around here but for awhile we are warm and Ken is able to use his oxygen machine. It is still snowing and the way it sound it will be snowing all day. I have no idea if any limbs have fallen and won't know until I get dressed and go outside. I probably won't shovel the snow on our deck until it quits snowing. I may take pictures but the last snow we had was way deeper than this but by night who knows how much will have fallen. No school and some businesses are closed in this area. And hardly any traffic on the highways. So I guess there are some smart Arkansas people in this area. We being one of them !!! :)

Ken asked for and got biscuits and gravy for a brunch! Now he is laying in bed, as happy as can be, watching the birds and the t.v. I have gone out three times to put food out for the birds. You can't imagine how many birds are at our feeding stations. Plus I have put water out but I will have to go out real soon for the water is freezing. I shoveled snow by the front door so hopefully no one will track snow in the house. But it didn't work. The snow is falling fast and covers everything as fast as you clean it off. The freezing rain that we had last night, could have made the deck very dangerous to walk on, but with the sleet, the ice is real rough and you can walk without slipping.

It's almost 8 p.m. and it is still snowing. The snow is getting pretty deep now. They are saying it will probably snow all night and tomorrow expect snow flurries. At least we still have electricity but the way the snow is falling, I sure hope the lines are strong enough to hold the weight. I am setting a flashlight near Ken's bed as will as mine.

Sam and Joyce both called today to check on us. At least now we have a phone that works just in case the electricity goes. I bought it yesterday at Dollar General. Plus a radio that not only works on electricity, but on back up batteries too.
