As of this morning,
New England is covered
In fresh mounds of snow.
Yet, I cannot complain,
Because two months ago
I moved to North Carolina
And all we got is tons of rain!
What my hill looked like in Charlestown, NH- New England after a snow fall!

Excellent news!! On January 31st, my best friend is coming from Massachusetts to visit! Woohoo! It will be a welcome relief for her to get away from the extreme cold. For me? Fantastic to have a friend for exploration!
L, who is coming to visit, prompted the dedication quote in my next book!
“True friends
are often discovered by
unsolicited action and support.
Once found, forever carried within the heart.” – Kallie Knight
“WEATHER” OR NOT WE ARE HAVING FUN…. HAHAHA!
In the northern part of the east coast, in the last two weeks, they have experienced 12-14 plus inches of snow a few times, and quick thaws causing icy roads, walkways along with some flash flooding. They are enduring an ongoing windchill factor that drops the temperature well below zero. New Hampshire and Vermont as well as other parts of the country are experiencing EXTREME Winter!
When one thinks of North Carolina, generally, the mind envisions hot sunny, humid days. Surprise! They DO have winter!
This morning, as I walked the dogs, there was a crisp, crackle to the grass comparable to the sound of the crinkle-crunch of when my cat attempts to sneak into a freshly opened bag of potato chips.
Temperature? Twenty-four degrees!
When I first arrived to North Carolina, it was barely 48 hours following an all time record breaking snowfall. As the last six-ish weeks have flown by, I have experienced, rain, frozen water droplets hanging from the branches, while the ground remained wet but too warm to freeze.
In the last 2 weeks there have been school delays due to icy roads. Sounds like Wintry weather to me!
The temperature ranges from 63-38 degrees during the day, then drops to the 20-30s at night. Mother Nature seems to enjoy the element of surprise as this transpires in no particular order and without warning.
One day I will be a bit hot in my hoodie, the next I have my purple scarf wrapped about my neck as I add a winter coat to take the dogs outside into the brisk air! Three hours later I may be in a hoodie again, with blue skies, sunshine and what I deem to be the perfect not too hot, not too cold temperature.
I have felt blessed, weather-wise, to witness this time of year in Statesville and Troutman, NC!
Well I am off to do more unpacking in hopes of having some sort of order when L arrives!!
❤
Have a wicked awesome Wednesday!!
Kind Regards and #winning- K

The truck was packed up on last Saturday!
My daughter and I, though over tired, decided it was best to leave at 4:30pm and get a head start on our trip.
Even a couple hours would help.
There was a big snowstorm due in North Carolina. Our goal was to time it just right, so that we weren’t traveling in the brunt of it! 😳
The first night we stayed in Hartford Connecticut after traveling only about one hour and 45 minutes.
The second day we literally made it about 36 miles out of Fredericksburg Virginia before we hit that lovely white stuff! At that time the storm had shutdown our final destination in North Carolina!
Thankfully my daughter had planned ahead and had reservations in Fredericksburg.
Tired but thankful to be there, through snowflakes as large as your big toe. We pulled into our hotel at the perfect time!

Happy Saturday!
It’s an extremely cold single digit temperature, this early a.m.! Brrrr!
I’m sitting here amongst 2 gigantic walls of boxes thinking 🤔 Damn! I sure could use a Riverside Restaurant, (Springfield, VT), Reuben and some fries!!! Ha! Ha!
I’m sipping on a wee hour of the morning, coffee… my “Hope I haven’t forgotten anything thoughts”, are swirling! 😳🤷🏻♀️
Well the gang showed up!
Truck picked up and packed!
Left early evening to get a head start! There is a big snow storm moving in down South.
Just wanted to drop by with an update and a hello!
❤️
Just after dark, this 30 yard monstrosity was delivered.
Learned something new, a 10 tire truck can get stuck in a snowy driveway! I grabbed a shovel and helped the driver dig down to my gravel driveway so he could get out. WIN!
Of course, it doesn’t help, I live smack dab on the center of a gigantic hill! With a slanted driveway too!
This morning, I went out to throw my first bag in!
OH SH*T! That sucker IS TALL! I’m 5’10” and the edge is just above my head.
I was perplexed. How the heck was I going to throw all my weeded memories and “let gos”, into it?
Grabbed my cell and called my best buddy. Who knew, that one end actually opens up? You can literally walk into it. DUH!
Of course, we had a wonderful chuckle at my expense! 🤣🤣
Just call me “dumpster challenged”!
Guess now I need to start throwing my hoeing!
North Carolina, watch out, this NH country gal will be there soon!
Kind Regards and still laughing- K
