Years ago there was a columnist in the Arkansas-Democrat Gazette named Richard Allin.  His writings rambled about his daily life and observations, including snow tire and daffodil festivaladventures with a sheepdog named Suds ( if I remember correctly) and the small towns of Gudge Creek and Wad and the foolishness and wisdom that abounds therein.

One of the things he often referred to was the Annual Arkansas Snow-Tire-And-Daffodil Festival.

Here’s a tribute to that event -

Somehow, this kind of thing just isn’t supposed to happen…does Mother Nature have a sense of humor?

 

 

 

 

 

Heres a few other photos from local ‘post’-ers on THV11′s web site that caught my fancy in this last week of February weather -

Hmmm...I think he's on the right track!

    I always read Richard Allin. My daffodils are holding off their blooms too.

    I really enjoyed Richard Allin and Charles Albright’s columns. Thanks for reminding me of some great newspaper writers. Love the pix.
