Cape Girardeau, Missouri, where apart from the great stories with a warm audience in a
warm auditorium, we enjoyed sub-freezing temperatures in the evenings and temps
slightly above freezing in the daytime. Now, that’s January weather I can appreciate.
We’re fortunate to have friends in Cape Girardeau who love to “bed and breakfast” us, thus
reducing our trip expenses to tickets, fuel, and food. We think of such jaunts as mini-
vacations and enjoy them immensely.
If you don’t know, Cape Girardeau is gaining a reputation for hosting a three-day
Storytelling Festival each spring. Not only are the storytellers entertaining and informative,
but the cost of admission is a fraction of the cost of the National Storytelling Convention in
Jonesboro, Tennessee each October. If you’re interested in a fun-filled weekend check out

February is likely to be our last best chance for measurable snowfall in Northeast
Mississippi, but given the path old man winter has trodden, thus far, I’m not buying snow
tires or a new sled just yet.

From The Arbor ~ Fabulous February Ahead
.Weather-wise ours has been a mild
winter. I may be an oddball, but I like my
springs bursting with blooms, my
summers sultry hot, my autumns colorful,
and my winters downright frigid. By this
time last year we’d had three or four
snows in Pontotoc. Folks here will do well
to remember the Christmas snow of
2010, as it may be the last we’ll see for
the next decade or two.
