Frost- One more time?

Yes, the weather turned cold again. The plants had to come in and the windows put back on the greenhouse. Is this the cold weather's last hurrah?

They say it will slow warm up the rest of the week and Easter Sunday will be warm with a chance of rain. The flowering Peach tree looks gorgeous.

I like this weather because soon it will be unbearably hot...

American Lifestyle magazine

“The Mississippi Gulf Coast has a unique flavor and charm.

Southern hospitality is for real, and it abounds.

“I can unequivocally state that the Mississippi Gulf Coast
is the nation’s best golf-and-casino gaming destination, bar none.

If it isn’t, I’ve not seen a better one.”

Great weather

If it stayed like this all year, it would be paradise!

In the 40s and 50s at night and high 60s low 70s during the day, with a breeze.

Not much humidity which is a killer.

Another beautiful sunset.

And if I still lived in New York, this is what I would see. Picture from my niece in Upstate, NY.


She is hoping this is her last snow fall, of a very snow year.

St. Patrick's Day

A Beautiful St.Patrick's Day Sunrise in South Mississippi.

It looks like our cold weather may be gone.

The next 10 days look like 50-60s at night and 60-70's during the day.

Time to get the garden planted.

Still cold

We still have chilly nights in the 30s. It warms up to the 60s but it feels colder because of the breeze we have for the last few days. I am not complaining. Before you know it, it will be unbearably hot and humid. I would rather be chilly.

Near the Gulf of Mexico we have train tracks. During bad storms that is usually the dividing line. "Everyone south of tracks must evacuate". I find it strange that both of our fire departments are south of the tracks. So is our main part of the town that holds the Court house etc.

Long Beach, MS man's Obit goes viral

It is obvious this man handed down his sense of humor to his children. What a wonderful way to honor the man they loved and respected.

Spring?

We have been in the high 60's and low 70's the last few days. Here a Mockingbird bird is building a nest under the patio roof. Is Spring in the air? Hopefully there will be no more freeze and people can start planting their gardens outside.

Repairs to Jefferson Davis' home ready for Civil War anniversary

BILOXI -- The last vestiges of Hurricane Katrina were removed from Beauvoir after the gift shop moved from its temporary quarters in a FEMA trailer into the nearly complete presidential library Wednesday.

The last home of Jefferson Davis and its accompanying presidential library were heavily damaged by the 2005 hurricane.

Work began Monday to transfer stock and other items from the trailer into the gift shop in the library.

The 24,000-square-foot building still has some work to be done on it and planned galleries in the upper floor, as well as the library, are not yet ready for the public.

But the main entrance to Beauvoir will be ready for the site's participation in the 150th anniversary of the Civil War on March 16.
