Mother Nature Dictates Our Plans…..

We've been packing our little RV for about a week - putting things out there that wouldn't freeze and gathering the other things into tote bags to put in place just before leaving for Florida. We originally planed to leave on Wednesday, visiting family and friends along the way. We had it all set up…..but then I talked to my cousin.

The long road to her long dirt driveway leading to the farm was impossible to negotiate without a four wheel drive. That leaves us out. So we said we'd try to stop and see her on the way home.

Then another storm roared through Kentucky and Tennessee and we all saw news footage of icy roads and cars, buses and trucks spinning out of control.  So we waited. We heard from our friends south of Nashville who said their driveway had over 2" of ice on the entire length and was basically impossible to negotiate. We can't see them on the way down. So….maybe on the way home?

Then again more cold set in and we re-discussed everything on Thursday….and again on Friday….and today is Saturday. Today is pretty mild up here but the deep freeze is on its way back tomorrow. And the weather map is bright with colors showing lots of interesting weather along our planned route.

So….now we are going to sit down, look at the map and talk about this all over again. It may be that the RV stays put, we bring everything back inside and just wait for a spring trip.

Sigh…..Mother Nature is in control…..but then again, I have lots of quilting to do!
