  1. A fantastic pic, Phillip. Nice memories, but now for some global warming and positive thoughts that we don't get even flurries tomorrow!

  2. Beautiful photo Philip... our day in the 50's will be followed by the first major snow of the season tomorrow... perhaps 6"-10" depending on who one listens to... just in time to protect against the cold that's following the snow. Larry

  3. Now this is winter. We haven't had much winter to talk about this year. We are to get some snow by 9:30 this morning, so they say. I will believe it when I see it.

  4. Great photo Phillip, I had a lot of fun driving around Tuscumbia after work taking pictures for the calendar. By the time I got home it was dark and don't have many from around my place. I have the depot, courthouse and stagecoach stop in the 2012 calendar and have one of the Almon house & Locust Hills I'd like to use in the 2013 calendar. Mary

    When ever I need inspiration I always look at pictures of your garden.
